Pop-Up Bio
Floyd Wright has been a part of Connecticut radio since 1978. He grew up in Wallingford listening to all the great radio personalities in Hartford, New Haven, and New York city on his dad’s gigantic ‘Zenith multiband stratosphere all tube radio’. This radio featured a strange new band called ‘FM’, and that was the first time Floyd got hooked on ‘The Big D’. He used to play radio in the basement of his home and even built his own radio station by hitching ‘record players’ and a casette recorder into a small am transmitter kit. Then he figured out how to hitch the transmitter into the water pipes which made the station transmit a couple of miles. Floyd’s parents told him nobody was going to pay him to sit around all day and play music for a living, but they sent him to Emerson College in Boston to get a ‘Mass Communications degree’ anyway.
After becoming the station manager at one of the school’s radio stations he was lucky enough to get “ real” radio jobs in New Hampshire, Albany, New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford, and even a couple of stations in New York city. Over the years Floyd has been involved in raising money for muscular dystrophy, the Arthritis Foundation, and the March of Dimes, and has been given three awards from Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He currently resides in Newington with his lovely wife ‘Miss Susan’, a former dancer/choreographer who is now happy making libations at the Pequabuck Golf Club in Pequabuck, a part of Bristol.
He’s excited about working at The Big D, after all, it’s the station that put the ‘fun’ into radio. Floyd’s goal is to continue that Connecticut tradition. His fun personality and great music trivia along with The All Request Lunch Hour weekdays at noon, will help keep you entertained throughout your workday. Sunday afternoons Floyd's the perfect compliment to wrapping up your weekend!
