CeCe Taylor
Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
 


I graduated from the Center for The Media Arts in New York City in 1985. I began my radio career on Long Island New York in the beautiful (and very expensive!) Hamptons in 1986.

My radio career has taken me to some really fun cities and places. I've worked in the Tampa Bay area and spent 2 1/2 glorious years in the Florida Keys.

While in the Keys I was named a Royal Duchess of the Conch Republic, commissioned as the Royal Conch Republic Disc Jockey by Crown Prince Kim Fisher.

I was also a member of the US1 Radio team that received the Edward R Murrow Award in 1998 for Outstanding Continuous Coverage of Hurricane George.

When I'm not on the radio or meeting new friends in and around Memphis - my favorite pastimes including: cooking, baking, painting and making floral designs.

 
   
Bill Bannister
Monday-Friday  3 p.m. - 7 p.m.
 


Bill’s love for radio goes back to his childhood growing up in New Orleans, where he stayed up nights scanning the dial for his favorite DJ’s. Bill’s passion for broadcasting blossomed into a career that has taken him from his south Louisiana home (WIBR and WWL) to KNUZ in Houston, Texas, and then to what Bill calls" the greatest city in the world" Memphis, where he came to work for the legendary Sam Phillips (WLVS) and decided to make the MidSouth home. Since 1983, Bill has enjoyed being part of what makes Memphis great as the top-rated afternoon voice of WRVR 104.5 The River. Bill enjoys cooking, traveling, writing, being outdoors, and spending time with his family. He also writes the Underground Memphis blog, which tells the story of little-known fun and exciting places of local interest. Bill lives in Bartlett with his wife and daughters. He’s on each weekday afternoon from 2-7pm with Continuous Soft Rock, and up to the minute traffic and weather information to make your ride home smooth and painless.

 
   
Delilah
Monday-Sunday  7 p.m.- Midnight
 





I was a small-town girl.

Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old heart.

There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town.

One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol.

In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station. Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job: "Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly.

By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts, wrote and produced commercials. I took the empty soda pop bottles back for the refund. Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I was happy!

It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station. Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my first love.
