Before posting, I checked and his tenure lasted for 35 years before he was terminated.
I recall asking him if he had any interests beyond working overnights. Mike said he wanted to get into voice-over work.
I briefly worked overnights, and this was the station which management had chosen.
What I don't remember is if Mike's career with The Mix was always working the overnight shift.
I sometimes wonder about the longevity of DJs working overnight at the same station. This doesn't necessarily have to be in Chicago.
As WYTZZ95FM mentioned, many radio stations no longer use live talent overnights.
Finally, back in the day when 94.7 FM was WYTZ-FM (Z95), I was traveling to the airport very early in the morning for a trip to Los Angeles. The newsman commented to the female DJ on air about how much energy she had so early in the morning.
Her reply? "They pay me to have this energy so very early in the morning."
I'm surprised she made that statement on the air.
Brant Miller, now at NBC5, played a Bon Jovi song for me. Great memories of a once-great CHR station.
