Douglas Boone, Jr. began his love
affair with radio broadcasting when he was a youngster when he saw the
photographs of local Disc Jockeys on the wall of a retail establishment in his
native Baltimore and receiving a two-transistor radio when he was ten years
old. He would place the radio under his pillow to listen to local stations by
day and AM stations across the country at night. He attended Hampton University
in Virginia where he began to hone his on-air skills on the campus radio
station WHOV-FM. Upon graduation he continued his radio career while working
weekends at WILD and WCAS in Boston Massachusetts and later at community
supported KEOS-FM in College Station/Bryan, Texas. This is where he established
the “Professor” moniker due to the proximity to Texas A&M. He came to KAZI-FM
in 2022 where he first hosted a weekly Quiet Storm program before transitioning
to Mornings with Douglas weekday mornings. The greatest influence on his on-air
style was the late Frankie Crocker of WBLS-FM in New York City. He is retired
from the Texas Lottery Commission. The “Professor” enjoys playing golf,
traveling and spending time with his wife Debra Dibble Boone.
