Former Lite 98.7 DJ Wants To Come Back To Utica

A former local radio DJ whom I worked with, or worked in the same building with, for several years here in Utica recently left the area for an opportunity to return to his hometown, Buffalo, NY.

Mark Richards, who spent many years as the 'morning man' on our sister station Lite 98.7 has been back in the Queen City at Mix 96.1 for about a month...just in time for this brutal bout of unrelenting snow which has already piled 5-feet high with more storms and feet of flakes to come.

Listen: Mark Richards joins First News with Keeler to talk the ongoing lake effect snow storms in Buffalo -

And - after deciding the uproot and resettle in his hometown (for all of a month now) - Mark had an important question for us (about 2mins and 40secs in): 'Got any openings out there in Utica?!?!'

Mark, stay safe, and pace yourself with that shovel. Overdoing it can be dangerous.
