10 Questions with ... Andrew Hoover 'Hoover'BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Born in Fort Wayne, IN and raised in Richmond, IN. I've always tried to be the star of attention. Radio was a natural path for me. In middle school, I took a small radio career project, where we had to create a radio station and a show, etc. I've since been told by the teacher, I'm the only student to ever have music beds and SFX. I took it a little serious. After that, I became a regular caller on every local station in town ... yeah, THAT kid. I started getting to know the jocks at WFMG, and actually did the Relay for Life with them and their stunt walk 24 hours straight. Did that for about two years, and then at 16, the midday jock asked me if I wanted to be part-time. A whirlwind started and I was the new weekend host by the time junior year started. I made sure to try and work every event I could as a part-timer, even if it was unpaid. After two years of part-time, I graduated high school and was offered full-time, originally offered afternoons on WFMG and VT'd middays on WZZY, and being Public Service Dir. For about a year, I also was one of our sales representatives. Don't judge me; I made good money. It's been one of hell of a ride, from dressing in drag for St. Jude, introducing big artists to my hometown and last year winning an Indiana Broadcasters Association Spectrum Award for Best Local Impact News. This year marks seven years in radio and last month, I switched rolls to Social Media Dir. for our five stations, while still handling live afternoons and VT'd middays. Safe to say, I'm a lifer.
