I actually remember working with Chuck Leavens at then Burbach owned 95XIL in Parkersburg, West Virginia in 1981-1983. Chuck was the CE, and 95XIL was a programming clone of another former Burbach property, the then K104 in Erie.

Congratulations to Chuck. He is such a talented man. His music is beautiful (did you know he is a composer?), and he has a voice from the heavens. I am proud of my former relationship with Chuck and wish him my best.
