DJ'S
Dave Wheeler
I’ve grown up in Central New York my entire life, which explains why I’ve somehow been on just about every spot on the radio dial or restaurant line. I’m a Westmoreland High School grad (Class of 2009) and now live in New Hartford with my wife Sarah.
Our house is lovingly chaotic, but louder: two dogs (Harper and Moxie), two cats (Cesar and Milo), and four kids. FOUR. So yes, I’ve mastered the art of multitasking, selective hearing, and surviving on diet soda and coffee.
When I’m not on the air, I’m also a local psychic……because apparently talking about the future was the next logical step. You can find me online as Dave The Seer, The Psychic DJ, predicting the future and still somehow forgetting to grab lettuce or soap at the store.

Dave’s easy to please. A Mets game, slice of pizza, warm weather…and he’s a happy guy!

Shaun
2nd Runner Up for Time’s “Sexiest Radio Broadcaster Whose Seen Every Episode of Star Trek.” Rescued a puppy and a tuna sub from a smoldering shed once. And after mastering Italian, I became an international super spy.
Right now, I spend my mornings playing TODAY’S NEW COUNTRY for you while surfing the classifieds looking for Transformers for my son and sipping espresso martinis…shaken, not stirred.
Okay, okay. Maybe I exaggerated *just* a bit. But I can play your favorite song, puppies adore me, and my passport has been used once. What’s your ideal vacation destination so maybe I can use it a second time?

Biscuit
What’s Biscuit’s favorite kind of biscuit? Bacon cheddar biscuits.

Country Gold With Steve Harmon
STEVE HARMON
Wife: Becky
Son: Graham and his wife Carrie
Adopted Shelter Dog: Leo
Steve Harmon graduated from State University of New York-Adirondack with thoughts of being the guy “recording the bands and acts in a studio.” Turns out the students in his classroom doing little shows at the college radio station were the ones having the most fun. So, he started “hanging out” with them. One day a student and college radio station host called in sick. They asked Harmon to fill in, and…that was that. He has never stopped or done any other job. He is a CMA Award Winner and Lifetime Member, having Reba herself call his name and hand him the precious award. Just a few years ago, the Country Radio Hall of Fame committee called to congratulate him on being one of the very, very few inductees into their Hall of Fame! After many years in Texas Radio in Dallas and Fort Worth, the Texas Radio Hall of Fame committee called to say he had been inducted in their Hall of Fame!
