WJPZ at 50

Scott Meach, Hall of Fame Inductee, Class of 1990


Listen Later

Scott Meach's contributions to both WJPZ and the Alumni Association are nearly immeasurable.   In two stints as General Manager, he and his team helped shepherd the station out of a mountain of debt, bring in some major market coin, and pull off some big-time promotions in the Syracuse market.

In his time since graduation, he's served as President of a revamped Alumni Association, created the bylaws for the WJPZ Hall of Fame, and so much more.

In today's wide ranging conversation, we cover the financial turnaround of WJPZ in the late 80's, what the station overcame on and off the air, and how it ushered in what we now know as the "Flamethrower" era.  We also talk about how the Alumni Association has evolved over the last two decades.

Scott also talks about his professional journey, from working with "Up With People" to radio promotions and contest insurance, ultimately to starting his own business in the secondary ticket market, SecondTicket.
