| Joey Reynolds He’s Mr. Nice Guy of Night Radio from coast-to-coast over the WOR Radio Network, and especially in New York City where his satellited show, which originates over WOR 710 AM, is the absolute king of the night. Considered one of the most creative persons in America, Joey Reynolds has been involved in "showbiz" most of his life. He was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland a couple of years ago for his accomplishments in radio, television, and music. Joey rose to national fame as a Top 40-radio personality A few years ago he was the subject of a two-part series on the televised Oprah Winfrey Show about radio talk personalities. His peers paid tribute to Joey on the show. Joey once worked for 20th Century-Fox and was instrumental in the development of the “Star Wars” marketing program. It was one of the world’s most outstanding financial successes as both a movie and a soundtrack album. He also headed a company for singer Wayne Newton for two years. The young Joey turned several radio markets literally upside-down, gaining huge audience ratings, including in his home town of Buffalo and in Hartford, Cleveland, and Detroit. His sometimes nutty stunts, on the air and off, attracted great radio audiences and enormous attention in both trade and consumer publications. Today, Joey is a tad tamer, but he is still able to attract and maintain huge and phenomenally loyal audiences in such markets as New York City, Denver, and Philadelphia. He has also developed a different style of humor that jokes more with the person to whom he’s talking, rather than against them it makes friends out of everyone. In Denver, he hosted a radio-TV simulcast on KOA. More recently, Joey launched and hosted the first nationwide satellite radio programming featured on more than 35 radio stations coast-to-coast. However, his skills far exceed the mere boundaries of a medium. He has a unique talent in developing concepts and driving such concepts to reality. For example, a Joey Reynolds cheesecake is now being sold in many markets, including New York City and Florida. His immensely popular memoir, “Let Your Smile Be Your Umbrella, But Don’t Get a Mouthful of Rain”, highlights some – and just some – of his outrageous exploits and adventures of his career. A divorced father of two teenage daughters, Joey strives to practice the same ethics in business as he does in his home life: honesty, quality and steadfast purpose. He maintains a second home in Florida and spends most weekends during the year with his children. To return to previous page hit the back button on your browser |
