Get ready to tune in, folks! Radio veteran Mark Allen is bringing his morning show magic to WQGR, North Madison, Ohio, and it's set to be a blast from the past! Music Express Broadcasting Corporation's Oldies station, 'Gold 93.7,' has just announced the arrival of "Mark Allen, Gold Mornings!" This is exciting news for fans of classic tunes and engaging radio personalities.
Allen's impressive career includes a 23-year stint hosting mornings at Media One Group's AC station, "Mix 97.1" WREO in Ashtabula, Ohio, until 2020. Before that, he graced the airwaves at a variety of stations, including WPHR in Cleveland, WDCG in Raleigh, and WZOO and WFUN in Ashtabula. He's also worked in Panama City and Erie, proving his widespread appeal and experience.
The station is also getting a makeover! Along with Allen's arrival, Gold 93.7 is freshening up its sound with a new imaging voice, Jeff Laurence, and jingles from TM Studios. This revamp promises a revitalized listening experience for all.
Allen himself is thrilled about this new chapter. He expressed his gratitude to owner Warren Jones and General Manager Gary Hayes for the opportunity. He shared his love for the Great Lakes Region and his excitement to connect with listeners on "America's Great North Coast," playing the fun music of the '60s, '70s, and beyond on Gold 93.7.
But here's where it gets interesting... This move signifies a shift in the radio landscape. What do you think about the enduring appeal of oldies stations and veteran radio hosts? Do you think the nostalgia factor is key? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
