A special thanks to MIKE WILD, PHIL BECKER and SCOTT MAHALICK for believing in my abilities to impact our radio markets. I am looking forward to expanding my show with one of the most cutting-edge media companies around. PEORIA and I have a great relationship. There has been a missing piece in CENTRAL ILLIONOIS radio as of late, and I am excited to fill it in with my new partner in crime, CHRIS STEWART. Game on. Thanks to my colleagues and mentors for getting me here today, especially MARK "TIC TAK' ALLEN, KENNY VEST AND ZAYLEE."
