Ah, Radio People...

This week was the annual NAB convention in Las Vegas. Nothing more fun than a bunch of radio people on vacation. My colleague Bryan Jones reports many attendees registered using their radio names, most of which make "Scott Curtiss" seem very tame. I worked with a Rick Shaw and a Pete Maus, but some are even more creative:

Tom Katt
Tommy Hawk
Marty Graw
Andy Freise
Justin Case
Max Power
Adam Baum
Don Key
Brock Lee
Bill Loney
Dan D. Lyons
Mike Rafone
Al K. Seltzer
Jim Shu
Mike Stand
Eaton Wright

If you had the misfortune of being stuck in a radio job, what would your air name be?

  1. Listen to the end of "Click and Clack" on NPR Saturday morning at 10:00 (Mtn). These are the car problem guys that list their staff and contributor credits at the end. Their names are quite clever.

  4. Have you ever heard of how you do your stripper name? Your first name is the name of you childhood pet and your last name is the name of the street you grew up on. So mine is Muffin Quilberry! Isn't that hilarious! (As you can tell I got nothing on the clever radio name....I had to resort to my stripper name...)

  5. You had a childhood pet named Muffin? Or was it an actual muffin?
