I have always loved Clarke Ingram’s sound on the air. Lots of energy, economy of words, great production, and a tight board. And you could always tell he loved what he was doing, no matter what station he was on. And, he worked on air & programmed some legendary stations, WHTX,…

We hear Bumper Morgan once, Lonnie Davis once, and a promo for Bill Worthington, but otherwise this is a rather ho-hum run of the mill…
