REBECCA WILDE HONORED BY FREE TIMES....

Today we got word that REBECCA WILDE was named BEST DJ IN CLEVELAND by THE FREE TIMES. Frankly, I have never looked at REBECCA as a "DJ". What makes her so strong on the radio is that she is everything but a "DJ". She is an interesting person who happens to have a show ...and I get to work with her each morning. What makes REBECCA interesting is her many passions. I admire her passion for music, her cats, her relationships with her MOM and brother and yes, her strong opinions. She has strong convictions on animal welfare and even likes sports....or at least tailgating. "DJ's" introduce songs on the radio. REBECCA brings real life to the radio. She is not always right and we don't always agree, but that is what makes our show interesting to me. It's real. REBECCA plays a big role in keeping our show real.

RANDOM REBECCA-ables....

*Rebecca and I met a little over five years ago at a lunch in the wharehouse district. At the time, neither of us knew we would wind up doing a show together.

*We raised thousands of dollars for the APL together. The success of the event was fueled by Rebecca's passion for animals and her solid broadcast over the two day event.

*Rebecca has proven that she is not only strong on the radio, but she has lead the way in AMERICAN IDOL coverage in Cleveland on FOX 8. Her live broadcast from HOLLYWOOD this past spring was second to none.

*We had a blast together at the TRAIN show at THE AGORA two summers ago. One of the best shows I have seen in Cleveland

*We rode around Lake Tahoe together a lil over a year ago. Rebecca insisted we make the trip. It changed my life in so many ways. I have such a great appreciation for cancer survivors and their families. It also started my passion for biking.

*Seeing Rebecca's relationship with Roger blossom into what it is today from how it started continues to amaze all of us. The relationship gods were shining on Rebecca that day. Roger really is as awesome as she says he is...hard to believe he was a random listener.

*I have always been impressed with Rebecca's sense of adventure. She has jumped out of airplanes, travelled to Spain alone. Just this year she visited Costa Rica and Greece.

Rebecca Wilde is much more than a "DJ". The woman who wakes you up in the morning has been there and done that. "DJ's" don't have time to live a "Wilde life", they are too busy ordering pizza and talkin' to caller number nine.
