Travis Jackson, "The Ol' Hall Of Famer," first hit the airwaves December 2, 1993 on WSTC in St. Charles, IL. Through antics and shenanigans there, a listenership followed the move to WFXW, AM 1480 in St. Charles, where Travis Produced "Sports Till Midnight" Friday nights. Paul Sabre, Co-Host of the show found out Travis's little secret of another man by the same name having been inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Travis reluctantly admitted to the knowledge of this relation and the nickname was then given. Now, more than ten years later, Travis has worked at more than a dozen radio stations and produced one time shows and spots for many, many more.
Major influences came from Dick Biondi, the Wild I-Tralion, host of the night show on Oldies 104.3 in Chicago who was influential in promoting the Beatles, Elvis, Little Richard and many more in the '50s and '60s. Dick showed the fun of radio even after fifty years in broadcasting. Anyone who can make it that long in radio definitely enjoys their job. Other influences came from several of the hosts and on air personalities worked with in studio and on location. These are unfortunately too numerous to mention, but someday may very well be mentioned anyway.
Paul Sabre has worked at many stations through out the Chicago 'Burbs as well as a guitarist with many bands.
