Steve York Interacts

Steve York, middays on “generations 102.3, the music for your generation,” grew up in the Shenandoah Valley. His two greatest loves are music and hearing it on the radio.

Steve has been on the radio for much of his life, and he has traveled around the country doing it. But he says there is nothing like coming home and getting to be with family and friends. When he is not on the radio, he loves watching movies, sports on TV, traveling, and basically having fun and enjoying living in Charlottesville.

Steve also hosts the Interactive Request Show on Friday and Saturday nights from 10:00pm to 12:00 midnight on TOM@107.5. Let TOM and Steve know what you want to hear:

"Tom@107.5" takes a listener request from Delta # 1150

This is a cool story about how radio (and Monticello Media) is embracing the new, digital technologies. As you know if you follow this blog, we run an Interactive Request Show Friday and Saturday nights on "Tom @ 107.5". Tom takes requests via phone, email, Facebook and Twitter; our DJ, Steve York, has authority to play anything requested, even if it is not in our library (a really BIG library) and he has to download it.

Last night, my friend Stephan Sloan was on Delta flight # 1150 listening to Tom's stream (unbeknownst to me). He emailed a song request to "Tom" and sent me a copy. I also happened to be listening to Tom. Steve got the email and immediately played the request, "Big Audio Dynamite Medecine Show" (which Steph confirmed on my Facebook page hearing in real time moments later from the plane). I think that might be a radio "first."

The times, they are a-changin'.
