Just so you know a little bit about me: I was born in Chicago, graduated from Georgia Tech and some thirty-five years later, here I am in Philadelphia! OK, it's a little more involved than that.
After college, I did morning shows at various radio stations around the country, including Z-93 in Atlanta and 13 years in New York, 3 of them at WABC and 10 at Z-100, where I was Billboard magazine's Major Market Air Personality of the Year. I worked in Philadelphia at WEGX for a year between jobs in New York City. The last eight years before moving to Philly were at WKSS in Hartford.
I met my wife, Rasa Kaye, while working at WABC in New York --she's a newscaster who fills in frequently at our sister stations, WPHT 1210 --"The Big Talker," and KYW-AM. We'll be married 27 years in February and have a 13 year-old daughter (going on 21).
A Screen Actors Guild member, I've been in dozens of commercials and had a brief, on-camera appearance with buddy and former MTV VJ Adam Curry in Madonna's movie, "Truth or Dare" interviewing one of her dancers. I'm also the DJ (how hard was that?) in Blake Edwards' "Switch." My last residual check for "Switch": 53 cents.
As editor and publisher of The Ross Brittain Report, I'm up around 2:30 in the morning to provide a daily, 15-page column for about 150 radio stations across the country. And I have a 4-hour, syndicated weekend oldies show which runs on about 60 stations around the country.
As a minister in the Universal Life Church I've married more than 650 couples on the air (plus several off the air).
As a family, we've had ferrets (Ferret Bueller and Ferret Fawcett) but now have about 50 goldfish in the backyard, and a guinea pig, thanks to my daughter who loves them.
I look forward to being a part of your mornings ...and don't be shy, please feel free to call us and let us know if we're on track... or standing on your last nerve! Call The Breakfast Club on the 98.1 WOGL Request line, 1-800-942-8998.
