WGBI-AM RADIO STAFF:

Back in the days when AM ruled the radio airways.  WGBI-AM RADIO personalities Tom Reilly,  Keith Martin, Bill White, and Hoyt Keiser.   After a long stint as the main anchor at WBRE-TV, Keith Martin was recently appointed as Pennsylvania Homeland Security Director.  Tom and Bill are no longer with us.  Hoyt still lives up in the Endless Mountains... Tunkhannock. Hoyt was the "baby" of the on-air staff at the time.

My old pal, Bill Shupert, who died this past year. He was an overnight sensation when he came to work doing an all night dj show. He was a musician with Benny Goodman when he was fresh out of school.  (Marty Gladstone/former WDAU/WGBI engineering/operations staffer)
