RIDIN' THE RADIO AIRWAVES 3P-7P
  • Ten Questions with Damian Rhodes:
    Q: Do I really only work 4 hours a day?
    A: No. I put in 8-9 hours a day just like anyone else. There's alot of behind the scenes planning that goes into each day's show & I have a few other reponsibilities around the station in addition to holding down the Star 105.7 studio from 3 til 7 weekdays.

    Q: Where Am I Originally From?
    A: I am a Central PA native. I was born in Lititz, PA Lancaster County (yes, where the Amish are known). I spent some time working in State College PA & am happy to now be here in the Southern Tier!

    Q: What do I do with my spare time when I'm not talking on the mic?
    A: I enjoy watching sports with friends (baseball, football, basketball, you name it). I'm a total movie buff (just ask the other air personalities), I love playing the Wii, & you can usually find me at the gym working out as I'm kind of a health nut.

    Q: What are my favorite television shows?
    A: Grey's Anatomy, House, American Idol, Bones, Seinfeld & King of Queens reruns.

    Q: Since I love watching sports, who are the teams I support?
    A: I'm a Yankees baseball fan. I usually go to the Bronx once or twice a year for a game & also to visit my sister who lives around the upper West side of the city. Most of my family are Steelers football fans (being from PA) so I'm a part of Steel Nation in the Fall.

    Q: Favorite websites to visit?
    A: Star1057fm.com of course, haha. I'm usually tinkering around Facebook, love to shop on Amazon.com & MLB.com, & yes...once a day I hop onto Perez Hilton.com to get my daily fix of celebrity gossip.

    Q: Favorite places to dine out?
    A: I'm a big fan of Olive Garden. I also enjoy a healthy footlong at Subway.

    Q: How long have I been working in the radio biz?
    A: haha, too long. I started at WLAN in Lancaster, PA as a part-timer while in college in 1998, did a short stint working in advertising/sales...then went up to State College & spent a year & a half at WBHV-FM before coming back down to WLAN as a full-time employee in 2002 & now here at WMRV. I've also recorded radio shows and/or produced for WHKF in Harrisburg, PA...WCKY in Findlay OH...& WDFM in Defiance OH.

    Q: When I was a kid, what did I wanna be when I grew up?
    A: Okay, promise me you won't laugh...a farmer & a school bus driver, lol. Oh...& from a home movie taken when I was a kid that always seems to haunt me...a weatherman.
    I did change my major in college a few times as well. I started as a photography major, then to a graphic design major, eventually I fell into communications.


    Q: Car, SUV, or Mini Van?
    A: SUV hands down. Once you drive one, despite the expense on gas...you'll never go back to a car.
