Pyke
  • Born and raised in the nasty cold of Northern, Wisconsin,  “Pyke” came  from the edges of the high mountain tops into the radio spotlight, and has taken  the airwaves across the country by storm.  His electric voice and eclectic  personality makes for exciting radio, and his demeanor makes listeners a part of  his experience.  His style of radio has taken major markets and turned them  upside down.
    Immediately after graduating high school, Pyke moved to the slopes of  Colorado, competing and snowboarding.  He received accolades for his  achievements on the mountains, and left his mark in the Colorado Rockies.   His longing for the radio airwaves brought him back to the Midwest, where he  became the van driver for a local radio station in Minneapolis, MN.  While  co-owning a snowboard shop in the city, Pyke was brought under the wing of a  young on-air jockey named. For two years, Pyke produced and costarred in Cane’s  radio show, which landed the young star a gig at WHTZ-FM (Z100) in New York  City.
     
    With the #1 market under his belt, Pyke began to work overnights among many  other duties to the station, and his loyal fan base began to  develop.    Pyke stayed in the big apple, but changed formats,  going from top 40 to the hard rock and alternative WXRK (KROCK) NYC as the late  night and overnight personality, leaving the station and waving goodbye just as  Howard Stern would be walking in to start his morning show.  Pyke’s next  move was to WMRQ (Radio 104) in Hartford, CT, where he took over the highlighted  nighttime spot.  His on-air abilities allowed him to take his show to # 1  in the market.  His hard work and dedication to the airwaves landed him a  gig at WKSC (KISS FM) in Chicago, where he was back at Top 40. Returning to  Gotham city back to WXRK (KROCK) for the swing shift for a summer stint landing  him his own morning show at WSSR (Star 95.7) Tampa Florida. Now Pyke can be  heard right here 6am-10am Monday-Friday and Sunday 6am-10am
