Sue Wilson: WQMX Program Director & Morning Show Co-Host Sue joined the WQMX morning show in July as co-host with Scott Wynn. Although a recent addition to the morning show, Sue has been at the station for 2 years as Program Director. A lifelong resident of Akron, Sue considers herself fortunate to have been able to spend her entire career in the area she was born and raised; as an air personality, music director, research director, program director and programming consultant. Sue began her radio career in Sandusky before working at WKDD in Akron. From there, she moved to Cleveland’s 106.5 (then WLTF) as an on air talent and music/research director. Then on to 102.1 WDOK in Cleveland where she designed the Soft Rock formatics and changed that station from “elevator music” to “Soft Rock.” She led WDOK to the top of the ratings and remained there for 12 years before joining McVay Media as a radio consultant. In 2001, she was hired to launch a brand new station, 95.5 The Fish. She programmed The Fish until December of 2006, when she joined WQMX. Sue also does professional voice-over work and radio station imaging through her freelance voice business “Sue Wilson Creative.” You can hear her voice on radio stations in several markets around the country, including Your Country 94.9 WQMX! Although many of the stations Sue has worked for have not been country, she is no stranger to country music. Long-time country radio listeners may remember Sue’s late husband, Phil Cordle, who worked at the legendary Akron country station WSLR 1350/AM for many years. Sue has always been a fan of country music, and is thrilled to now be programming a music style she loves. Sue lives in the area with her two beautiful daughters and three..yes 3…dogs!

I listened to your comments on Monday morning concerning the black bear being sighted in Kent. It reminded me of a sign that someone recently sent me a picture of that read:
“WARNING
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. (British Columbia) Fish and Wildlife Branch us advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outsdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advance warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear feces has bells in it and smells like pepper.”
I thought you two might enjoy the ‘warning’ information. From an avid listener while on my way to work and while at work via the web link, thanks!
George
