John Story

From an early age I’ve had an interest in radio, and can still remember my first radio appearance – on KRMO-AM in Monett, Missouri, in spring of 1953 when a man from the radio station came to my school there and had my class sing a song, and then interviewed several students. What he did that day struck me as a fun way to earn a living, and I never forgot the experience.

While attending the U of E (then Evansville College) in the fall of 1963, I applied for and got an announcing job at the schools radio station – WUEV (then WEVC) - and my future was sealed.

While holding various jobs at several local movie theatres during the early 60s, I kept an eye on a radio career, which led me to WPCO in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, WVHI, WGBF, WIKY, WWOK (all in Evansville) and today WGBF again, plus WYNG (ESPN 94-9) as Program Director of both talk stations owned by Regent Communications of Evansville.

After over 42 years in the Evansville market on-air and behind the scenes as a Production and Program Director, I’ve had a long radio career and still very much look forward to coming in to the stations everyday. Radio (when done right) is a lot of fun!
