Suzy Waud on Energy 105 WNRJ Pittsburgh | October 27, 1989

Yet another from Robyn Watts’ huge collection includes this generous dose of CHR from the Steel City. This is another one of those stations that’s apparently been gone for quite a number of years (which is why a google image search turns up nothing). Still, a great sounding late-80s version CHR station that really made it’s mark on Pittsburgh.

Suzy Waud… love that voice! Can one of our visitors tell us if she is the same as the female jock on our WLS AM/FM composite elsewhere on this site? We’d sure love to know! Be sure to leave a comment below.

    This is actually “Stereo Quad” Suzy Waud. Not Suzy “Y.” Most of Suzy’s success was in Columbus OH at various stations. I had the pleasure of meeting her in Chicago once, when she did a shift for us at 92 Kiss FM. She had worked with our program director, Chris Shebel at 92X/Columbus.

    not sure if Suzy was on WLS in Chicago or not…but she spent the majority of her career as “Stereo Quad” Suzy Waud in Columbus Ohio on 92X…she most recently did mornings on a rock outlet there. Recently read an article in a Columbus paper that she now owns and operates Subway resturants around Dublin Ohio. Thanks for the aircheck, she was always one of my favorite female jocks.

    The name of this dee-jay is actually Suzy Waud (not Suzy Y) … and she called herself “Stereo Quad Suzy Waud”. Prior to her gig in Pittsburgh, she was a dee-jay for many years on 92-X, WXGT in Columbus.

    As a follow up, The Other Paper recently did a story about Suzy. Suzy and a partner recently purchased of a Subway franchise in greater Columbus.

    Stereo Quad Suzy Waud helped usher my ears into adolescence. Remember how she used to yell, “it’s FRIIIII-DAY!” Loved that. I hope she’s doing well.

    I grew up listening to this lady and she is one of the reasons I do radio today!

    One of the best jocks ever!

    I’d love to know what happened to this station? It sounded like a strong competitor to B-94.

    Hi guys, thanks so much for your kind words. Geez, you guys know me better than I do! You’re pretty much right on all of the above, but I don’t own Subway restaurant(s), however I did own one. Left my corporate spokesperson gig and decided to be the master of my own destiny, buy a Subway. Wished I had owned one 10 years ago before all the saturation. Did well on it but decided it owned me, so I sold it in record time and to run my own home based business, couldn’t bear to give another royalty fee to Fred Deluca!
    Anyway, miss the good ‘ol radio days, but I know they’re gone. Take care all, feel free to get in touch. Thanks for listening.

    Suzy Waud(or Sussue Wah-ood)is exactly what radio needs these days ! IT’s boring and stereotypical…no originality as it seems everyone seems to be impersonating Stern. I grew up listening to Suzy and miss listening to her on the radio.

    Suzy…great to see you on here and glad to see you are doing well. I have only been able to find two airchecks of you…one in Columbus in 1984 and of course this one. Would love if you would share some more tape with us.

    Take Care

    Ironically, shortly after this station changed its format, the WNRJ call letters ended up in Columbus on 105.7 “The Power Pig”. WNRJ was a start-up rimshot broadcasting from Marysville. Had a great sounding morning show with Mike Motley formerly of 92-X and WBLZ Hamilton-Cincinnati. At 3,000 watts, the signal sucked except along the northern edge of Franklin County, but it was still a great sounding station.
