Bold textGreg Lake is originally from the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and moved to Florida in the late ‘70’s to attend college in St. Augustine, where he met and married his wife, Kathy. He started his radio career at WKGR-FM 98.7 (Ft. Pierce, FL) as part-time week-ends until the station sold. He followed the rest of the ‘KGR air staff’ to Ft. Meyers and did overnights at WAKS-FM 103.7 until it was sold. Once again, the “radio caravan” came back to the east coast of Florida to WZZR-FM 92.7 in Port St. Lucie where Greg continued his 12am – 6am show, “The Dead Zone” until the winter of 1994 when he was given the morning 6am – 9am slot, where he stayed until spring of 1996 when he was fired for sagging ratings. Within 6 months of the launch of the Howard Stern show in the fall of 1995 on rival WBGG, Greg’s ratings were cut in half. Greg moved to Daytona Beach and started his own advertising agency, Alternative Advertising and Production. After 4 years in the ad business, Greg was offered, and accepted, the Production Director post at WELE-AM 1380, Ormond Beach. After a year, he traded in his Production Director duties for Program Director stripes. During the controversial 2000 presidential election, Greg launched a new, politically charged, morning call-in talk show call “Radio Free Volusia” which aired from 7-10am M-F. In January of 2007 the show hours moved to 6-9am M-F, where it remains Daytona Beach’s longest running morning call-in talk show.link title
