27 Pictures For 27 Years At WRIF – Meltdown
Happy Anniversary to me! 27 years ago I did my first shift on the mighty WRIF! It was an exciting new start for me, after being on the radio for 6 years in Buffalo, NY. On the other hand, I was in a big, unfamiliar city, where I didn’t know anyone. I’ll never forget my dad saying to me “Give it six months. If it doesn’t work out you can always come back”. Almost three decades later, I think it worked out pretty well!
Thank you to all of you for the many years of listening, doing shots, saying Hello at concerts, riding motorcycles, playing hockey and everything in between…THANK YOU!
Here’s to 27 more…..
-Meltdown-
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
