They came and said, ‘Do you think you could bring this shtick to TV? We could use somebody to liven up our morning show.’ This was before the internet and Facebook and photos online. You hit TV and it’s like, ‘So that’s what that guy looks like!’”
He became the first Philadelphia traffic anchor to do his reports in front of the green screen. He began his career as a radio disc jockey. When traffic became news, he joined KYW News Radio with Traffic on the 2s.
“I got started at 102.9 MGK and worked up and down the dial at all the hot stations but the music industry was starting to change. Fewer DJs were actually live on the radio; everything was prerecorded. My agent said to me, ‘Traffic is going to be huge. What if you DJ that?’ Traffic is live; it’ll always be live, you can’t prerecord it. So instead of talking up the Rolling Stones, I decided to DJ the traffic.”
