| Bob Wood spent only a couple
of years as a KQVIP. From 1970 until 1972, the "Woodburger" handled
the overnight hours on the Big 14. Bob's sense of humor and wit were
a key to his success in Pittsburgh and led him to a long future in radio.
Bob came to Pittsburgh from
Wilmington, Delaware. Bob spent many years in Canadian radio after
his stint at KQV. He also spent a number of years at WBEN in Buffalo,
New York.
Bob developed the "Bob" country
format for WBOB in Minneapolis. He was program director at KQQL,
Kool 108 in Minneapolis until late 2004.

| "After almost 12 years in
Minneapolis, and 4 owners, with 4 formats on one of my stations (country,
rock, classic hits and jazz) and one on the other (oldies), consultation
out of market, etc., my job was absorbed.
My wife and I researched
the whole country looking for the ideal place - rather than let a job move
us. We chose Austin and love it here.
I now have an internet website
optimization company as I believe the internet has what radio used to have
- hyper targeted advertising and room for creativity. www.Internet-Marketing-Advisors.com
I also have a website devoted
to Home Theater guides and reviews:
www.GreatHomeTheater.com
and a blog that looks at
the world through my sensibilities: The
Bob Blog
Is radio in my future?
I doubt it, unless some unexpected creative challenge comes my way.
But I enjoyed my time and many of the people with whom I was lucky enough
to work!
