Tune in for Tammy’s “Reality Reaction” weekday mornings at 11:30 and she’ll keep you up on your favorite Reality Shows since she’s the station’s “Reality TV Junkie”.

She’s the station Manager who oversees the daily operations and processes all the advertising orders as well as the billing for two stations.

Tammy and her husband have a grown daughter living in Salt Lake City, a son who is currently in the Marine Corp deployed to Afghanistan and one daughter still at home to keep them on their toes.

RUSS ALBUM Over the past 35 years I have worked as a radio personality and musician...
I had the honor of meeting and spending time with many of the Rock & Roll Heroes of our time. Through these experiences, I gained knowledge that is fascinating and enlightening! The truth is, I am a huge fan of music and the history behind the music. That is how the Wax Museum was created - in the early days of radio, DJs used to call 45s stacks of wax. So for two hours a week, the Wax Museum will transport you back in time, to a specific year and play the music from that year, along the way I'll give y ou the news headlines and other historical bits of information that will bring you back to the memories you acquired during that particular year. Its all about the music and the memories that music has created in you. They say that music is the universal language and we all speak it. So ask yourself, what song comes to mind when you remember your first kiss, your first love, your first car or your high school graduation? I hope you will join me for a great trip back in time!

STEVE BLACK - I grew up in Flushing, Michigan (out in the sticks) between Flint and Saginaw. I have been on Detroit rock radio for more than 15 years now. I have always done specialty shows, form "Studio Z" to The very popular "Listening Room", to "Ultimate Albums". I’ve always made an attempt to show radio listeners that there is much more to the craft of making music that meets most of their ears. All of my past shows and radio experience have led me to my new passion, "The Chopp Shop", A guitar show for all rock & roll fans. It’s not just about the fastest players, or the heaviest, or the most technical, but rather a celebration of all those who have chosen a life centered around the instrument.
NICK MICHAELS is the host of "The Deep End" and tells the stories of the artists and the songs in his unique, intimate, personal style, and Producer Terry Gangstad’s cinematic audio takes you there. It truly is a trip to a time when music mattered.

Joe Charlevoix, Meteorologist - Joe was born in Norway Michigan, a small town located on the Wisconsin border near Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula. Ever since he was a young child, he has been fascinated with the weather. When Joe was 3 or 4 years old, he was drawing weather maps with crayons and his eyes were glued to the television meteorologists, most notably at WLUC TV6 in Marquette.

Joe attended college at Valparaiso University in Indiana and one of his best memories from college was his freshman year when Valparaiso went to the Sweet 16 in the college basketball tournament. While in college, Joe pursued a degree in Broadcast Meteorology and interned in Chicago at WGN-TV. Joe graduated from college in May 2001 with a degree in Meteorology and a minor in Geography. He is married to his wonderful wife Sara, and he has a daughter, Ava, born in May of 2009.
