10 Questions with ... Lance Hale1) What was your first job in radio? Early influences?
I got started at college Rocker WVJC in '88. Early influences included Fast Eddy at 96 WSTO. But it was after moving to Florida that I really fell in love with what radio could be. Those main contributors were the Joe & Stan Show at WRXK/Ft. Myers (early '90s), as well as Lee & Bob at WJBX (later '90s).
2) What led you to a career in radio? Was there a defining moment that made you realize "this is it"?
There was no defining moment. It was more of an evolution. I loved music and wanted to be a part of it, whether it was working music, making music or spinning music. I started off worshipping the Beatles and KISS. Did the band scene for awhile, overlapping that early on with radio. When the band faded away, radio became my reality. It's been a very rewarding reality.
