It’s October 2018 as I write this update and I’m simply amazed that I’ve been active in radio for over 33 years – 21 ½ of that has been spent in the Hudson Valley. I honestly thought I would be here for a couple years and wind up somewhere else … but I guess I really do live here now. I’ve been doing the “Rolling Home Show” since the mid-90’s and it’s been crafted into something that I think is truly representative of my personality. Sincerest thanks to those of you who have shared your enthusiasm for what I do weekday afternoons on WBPM. But that’s only a small part of what keeps me busy. Our morning guy, Bob Miller, jokingly and quite respectfully calls me “Serge” – short for Sergeant – because I’m also the Program Director, Music Director, Image Director, Promotions Director and I host station appearances. Getting out of the studio and meeting our listeners is the most rewarding part of the job and I’m incredibly pleased with the success of 92.9 WBPM as a result of my management and direction. But everything I do for WBPM is my ‘second job’ here. My main responsibility is management of our Creative Services and Commercial Production Department and Frankenberry – one of our weekend personalities and Miller’s primary fill-in – is my assistant. Together, we are responsible for all of the commercials for all 7 of our radio stations so you will often hear us on commercials for local businesses. And there are a number of other things I’m involved with so there’s no shortage of stuff to keep me busy every day at work. I think you can tell that I’m very passionate about radio; it’s gotta be “in your blood” if you’re going to succeed in this business. But there is plenty of ‘free time’ in my schedule; I enjoy a wide variety of movies and a lot of TV shows – especially British TV shows … skiing, bike riding, bowling, billiards and tennis when I can find someone to play with. I can remember being a little kid and being fascinated with what I heard coming out of the radio. But I think what really inspired
