10 Questions with ... Keith AbramsBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I was fortunate enough to be ‘the GM’s kid’ growing up in small town Pennsylvania. This allowed me to be on the air as soon as my voice was lower than my mom’s at 13! I was a jock in New Castle and Pittsburgh through high school and college and have programmed/managed in Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Memphis, Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver and Cleveland over the last 35 years.
