George was a Pittsburgh native who came to KQV in 1973 and manned the over night shift.  During the Joey Reynolds era in 1975, George teamed with Joe Fenn under the names Frick and Frack as well as Coal and Steel.  The Coal and Steel show was one of the most creative shows in Pittsburgh radio.

After KQV, George spent time at 96KX (WXKX Pittsburgh) as Shawn McCoy. He later went to WOKY in Milwaukee before returning to Pittsburgh and FM-97 (WFFM).  George was also part of the original 3WS staff (WWSW-FM). He also was the pd at the old WPNT-FM in Pittsburgh before leaving for Texas and KONO/KONO-FM (San Antonio).

In 1974, I won a nite light in the KQV George Hart nite light giveaway.  I first met George during the World Famous Wake-a-thon in 1975.  George was kind enough to mentor me, listening to tapes and critiquing my work while he was at 96KX and FM97.  I kept in touch with George until a short time before his death.

George passed away in March of 1993.  He was undergoing a liver transplant when he didn't make it out of surgery.

I have spoken with his widow who remains in Pittsburgh.  Anyone with any airchecks of George can contact me and I will make sure she gets a copy of them.
