It certainly struck a chord with all the radio people I know (a collective "there but for the grace of God"). Hearing him for five seconds, it's obvious he's loaded with ability. That's why I was so happy to read the following excerpt about him in this morning's RAMP newsletter...
The first crucial step in that process comes today, thanks to the foresight displayed by "a local morning show," a.k.a. WNCI/Columbus' Dave & Jimmy, who invited Ted into their studio this morning at 7am. "Dave and Jimmy obviously recognized this as a great human-interest story," WNCI PD Tony Florentino tells RAMP. "And since Ted used to work at the former WVKO/Columbus in the '80s, we all want to help out a downtrodden former radio guy... and you don't get much more downtrodden than this." Morning co-host Jimmy Jam knows they've stumbled into something really special with Ted: "I played the audio on the air yesterday morning because I was so impressed with this guy's voice. Right after it aired, all kinds of offers from our listeners started pouring in. We thought if we could help get him off the street, that would be tremendous." Now, the kicker: "We have all kind of job offers that we will present him, including work with MTV and ESPN Radio!"
Wouldn't it be great if it actually had a happy ending?
