This well-known veteran of radio got into the business the same year CBS-FM went on the air in 1972, with the Greatest Hits of All Time. Growing up in Cleveland during the “Boom of Rock & Roll” he listened to great artists and DJs like Alan Freed, Mad Daddy and others. After working in garage bands in the 60s and an undefinable college major, radio called and Mr. Lee answered, eventually programming WTIC-FM in Hartford. He went on to jock at great stations like KFRC in San Francisco, WLOL in Minneapolis, and KPKE, Denver, before landing in afternoon drive in New York City at HOT/103, later HOT/97.
During the late 80s, Bill maintained prominence in New York before heading back to San Francisco anchoring the New Jack Zoo at KMEL.
By the spring of 1996, the urge to come back home to New York was too irresistible and KTU/New York made history!He’s done lots of charity work for organizations including The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The March of Dimes and The Manhattan Society. Bill is the father of three grown boys, two girls and two cats.
