The phones never stopped ringing and people were still reminiscing about him days later. We knew we had something special that day and we're thrilled to add Mickey to our lineup permanently."
"When I was 12 years old, I soldered together a Heathkit radio transmitter in my garage and broadcast a weather report to my mother in the kitchen," said Dolenz. "Ever since then, I have fantasized about having my own radio show. This is a dream come true and a thrill beyond words to be associated with CBS-FM, Infinity Broadcasting and the entire Viacom family. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship."
