Waylon Richards had previously worked in California, Omaha, Tulsa, Kansas City, Dallas & San Antonio and joined WPGC following the Great Strike That Struck Out in the Summer of 1977 from WGCL in Cleveland.

Initially he did late nights 9p-1a then moved to 6-10p when Program Director, Dan Mason took himself off the air to tend to National PD duties for First Media. With the arrival on Don Geronimo in the Fall of 1979, he moved to 10p-2a. He left WPGC in 1982 for Baltimore. Today he runs his own advertising agency in San Diego.

Great website! Many of us WPGC alumni really appreciate it. After I left WPGC, I went to Baltimore where I worked at Q105, then back to Steve Kingston who was then programming B104. I left Baltimore to program KHFI / Austin where we took the station from an 11.6 to an 18.4 share and won the National Program Director of the Year Award from Pop Music Survey. I did a couple more PD gigs (St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Nashville) then got into station management as Vice President & Market Manager in Atlantic City, NJ....Myrtle Beach, SC and Greenville, SC.

Today, I am in San Diego where I am President of a small advertising agency, Advizor. It has been doing fairly well, but I'm looking for it to do bigger and better things.

Thanks for the memories.
