Bob Wood
2 AM - 6 AM
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 have 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!

I continue to do voicework.
