Tony Bristol is a native of North Providence, Rhode Island. While attending North Providence High School, Class of 1978, Tony began winning lots of prizes from listening to FM 92 WPRO FM, the station's air monger back in the day. Whenever Tony would go to the radio station to pick up his prizes, he would hang out there for a long period of time watching the DJ's work through the studio window. Tony showed up at many station events offering any help he could give the promotions team and the on air team. During his high school days, Tony became a SchoolScope reporter for the Cougars of NP. After being introduced to a group of Junior Achievment members, Tony joined the group and contributed to a weekend early morning public affairs show. There he honed his skills on speaking, writing, editing and running the controls. When a weekend overnight shift needed to be filled Tony jumped at the chance to "run the board." The following overnight, WPRO-FM Program Director Gary Berkowitz gave "Anthony" a chance to talk on the radio. Tony began running the Wolfman Jack syndicated oldies show, American Top 40 with Casey Kasem and his own on-air shift during weekend overnights. Full-time overnights, then mid-days then music director and afternoons from the early 80's to 1993 when PRO-FM was sold. Tony left the station and worked at WTIC-FM in Hartford as Afternoon personality and Music Director. In 1996 Tony landed his first Program Director job at WKCI-FM (KC-101) working closely with radio legend Scott Shannon and then morning personality Glenn Beck. In 1998 Tony was contacted to "come home" and program the radio station he grew up listening to, 92 PRO-FM. One of Tony's responsibilities was to make sure the station on air DJ line-up was untouchable by the competition and most appealing to it's huge female audience. He put Giovanni & Kim together where they've dominated the market for the past 10 years. Tony is married with two children. He enjoys coaching Little League baseball, the beach, snowmobiling, photography, writing and music, music, music.
