Barbara Evans from Q-105 checks in

The power of this BLOG even amazes me, the number of people I have heard from is amazing, some people I had not heard from in years, some that I had never even met. Such is the case with Barb Evans, I had moved from the market by the time she came in, but never the less I recognized her name instantly, Here is Barb's addition to the blog!

Back in the 80s and 90s my air name was "Barbara Evans"..

I was the 7p-12m announcer at WILQ from July 83 to Feb Thenthen promoted to mid-day and Program Director at the Q until LAMCO sold the station circa January 1996. When I started at the Q, some of the names at the station were John Ellis-engineer of course, Joe Dalto-Sales Manager, "Jungle" Jim Cameron-making a return as Assistant Sales Manager. Cecil Hook..top AE and Bob Cunnion as GM-from LAMCO. I like to think that I was/am the only female PD Williamsport ever had, or at least longest run at it 12 years. I worked part time for a short period at WKSB on the weekends for fun. I am now on “the dark side, selling for cable television in Lewisburg, Sunbury, Danville, Watsontown areas. Not as fun as being a dj, but more profitable for me! People ask me if I miss radio, yes, but its the old days (ok, the 80s weren't that long ago) with live shows, back-timing, carts, vinyl and those new cd things that made it cool. Williamsport is mostly "voice tracked" after 10am and is basically two radio groups Backyard Broadcasting and Clear Channel.

My career started 1982 ish at WBPZ Lock Haven. I had never known Harris Lipez started in Williamsport.

I really enjoyed your history of the market..John E was the source of most of my history lessons in days gone by.
