Air Names

[kevin364]

I was cleaning out things around the house, and found a box of my old air checks from when i first started out in the 80's. More embarassing than listening to me do the cheesey "hit radio" thing was the air names I was given and or choose myself. Brace yourself...

I was at one point Van Ferrari "The rich man of rock & roll", Kevin ICE, and Eddie Munster....

*SHUDDER*

My only excuse to try and save face was that Two of these were given to me by the PD.

Any other of you good radio folk have any funny names to remember??

How's this for a radio person's *real* name?  She worked (still works?) selling time at American Urban Radio Networks.  And her name is Tahjma Hall.

Wow.

My radio moniker was made necessary by my being recently married.  I started out using my real name on the air, but teenage girls started calling my home number at all hours. There was a time when I would have welcomed that, but to keep the domestic peace I changed it.

I got my first taste of KROQ whilst visiting a friend in L.A. a few years ago.  She'd been listening since it was the cool thing to do, and had absolutely no idea why I laughed so hard the first time I heard the name of their legendary weekender Chuck Roast.

you won't believe this, but i used "amos pigg."

i even spiced it up (ala big ron o'brien) as "amos the rock & roll pigg"

heck, i even threw in a few "amos the rock & roll pigg of the nighttime"  (too much chuck boo baron influence, i suppose)...

um. wait.  that's my real name.
