Who is it?

[fistor!@#]

They said it's a "he", so my guess is Suzanne Geha.

[cyborgmexican]

Local listeners. Who is going to get destroyed next week?

[elegor]

It's gotta be Kevin Matthews.

[dino]

Kevin Mathews?

I have no clue....I don't listen to any other GR shows.

Maybe Rick and/or Scott! Did they specify AM or FM?

[cyborgmexican]

The radio voice of Kevin Matthews has been heard over airways across the country for nearly 25 years. Kev, as he prefers to be called, began his radio career in 1978 at WSRX student radio at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Mich.

After graduating from GVSU, Kevin worked his way up through the Grand Rapids, Mich. radio market until he finally settled at the city's classic rock station, WLAV-FM. There, he created a legendary morning show that quickly earned number-one status in the West Michigan market - and stayed there until he left West Michigan in 1984. Next stop St. Louis.

[christian]

Does anyone have a list of past memebers of the station? or somewhere to find them?

[iluvanul]

It's gotta be Kevin Matthews.

Yeah, that is the only one that makes sense. I do know that at one time though, Bubba the Love Sponge was at GRD back in the '80's, so there is an off chance it is him, but they never talk about him and they seem to not have a problem with him either, so it has got to be Kevin Matthews.

DAMMIT my freakin sound card went out on my puter!!

[drop]waaaaaa . . . i'm sad about stuff[/drop]

You talk exactly like an online encyclopedia reads. How do you do that?

[fistor!@#]

It's either Rick Beckett or Kevin Matthews.


Or it's someone else.

That would be awesome if it was Rick.

I find him quite F'n annoying!

[iluvanul]

Kevin Mathews?

I don't think there is any animosity or bad blood between them. In fact, I think that they actually get along pretty well, all things considered. (I think I heard Zane talking about it a few years ago) plus, I don't think Rick Beckett woul dhave a problem with anyone rehashing something he did 25 years ago. Hell, he'd probably want to simulcast it so he could rip on himself as well.

Ctrl C, Ctrl V.

And actually its from LAVs site not an encyclopedia.

[Philly Mike]

very specific, especally the someone else part.

[born2bone]

Can you tell me what segment this was?

[potthole]

Was Kevin Matthews on GRD ever? This past weekend some of my friends were talking about the good old days of listening to him on LAV back in the early '80s, before he left the market.

Not sure if it's Bubba. I seem to remember them a few weeks back saying he was a cool guy.

[Biff]

FB&HW specifically mentioned only having a problem with two radio personalities in the GR market. One was Huge-A-Dumb-Ass and the other was Kevin.

[Biff]

And with a smidgeon of research we find that Kev did in fact work at WGRD in the early 80's just before he went to WLAV.

[pwagon]

Wasn't Beckett on KLQ during the 80's...the Q morning zoo.

SEEEEYAAA

[Biff]

Wasn't Beckett on KLQ during the 80's...the Q morning zoo.

SEEEEYAAA

That was the early 90's. Beckett is a no talent ass clown.

[fistor!@#]

Remember the KLQ Morning Zoo jingle?


"Go bananas with the nuts, go bananas with the nuts, at the KLQ morning zoo!"

[Philly Mike]

Can you tell me what segment this was?

It was spoken of in the final segment, the local one.

[fistor!@#]

It was in the 80's as well. I was on the show in 1988, pimping my sweet Junior Achievement company.

I remember Darla Jaye being extraordinarily bitchy.

[kpaff3587]

I am a local listener but did not hear this this morning. I have the podcast. What segment would it be on. For some reason, Zane did not load the 16th segment today. No idea why. Anyway, what segment would it be?

[houseboat]

A few of the e-mailers got it right.

I'm sure their guess was THE LEGEND.

[Mad Dog]

Didn't they give the clue that this person owns a record shop in Grand Rapids? The only dj that I know with that discription is Aris Hampers and he was also around GRD in the early 80's

[Biff]

They said the person is still on the air. Aris, to my knowledge, isn't on the air anymore.

Incidentally, did he move his disc shop or did it close?

[Titan!]

That place was one of the first places I went into after moving to GR, and it was such a disappointment, I never went back.

Sixteen, probably.

[toddlerfundler]

I called and asked if it was Becket and the Intern said no.. sooo IDK

[potthole]

Doesn't mean they were telling the truth to you.

[toddlerfundler]

true

[lehmanr]

I think it's Kevin Matthews

[micyek]

I don't think it will be Beckett, they've spoke favorably of Rick and Scott in the recent past.

[cyborgmexican]

Well today they basically gave a bio of Kevin Matthews without saying his name. IDK why it

[speedbump]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Matthews

It lasted for approximately 10 seconds. Maybe something less obvious would work?

[elegor]

It's gotta be Kevin Matthews.

Winner!

[egowx]

They said in their local after 10 it was kev...

eric also mentioned that they have some of the same voices and bits he does now on the tape. Shud be awesome.

I just cannot listen to that show at all.

[addicted2wow]

darn I thought it was gonna be Rick and Scott

they still sound the same as 20 years ago...DUMB
