THE MIX
Congrats to RAP writer and member John Pellegrini/WKLQ-FM, Grand Rapids. He and co-worker Scott Sundberg recently won an ADDY for some commercials for Gordy's Markets -- the spots were on the May '93 RAP Cassette! Also, he's gettin' hitched on March 5 to Sarah Reyff! John writes: Although we're not registered with any broadcasting equipment supply companies, a digital workstation or a word processor would be a welcome wedding gift. I'll leave it to the kindness of individual RAP members to decide! HAH!
After 12 years as Production Director for WWTR, Ocean City and three Panama City stations, RAP member Mike Bailey resigns his first PD gig at a fourth Panama City station, WYOO/WLTG. He has confirmed that his destination is a FIFTH Panama City station. The one-market wonder told RAP this is probably his final career move since he's running out of stations in his Gulf front community!
