Music Director: Chris Kalata

"Angelspit makes me the most aggresive bastard while driving. This is why I don't carry a gun on me."

What made you get involved with WBNY?

Mine is a sordid tale of deception, betrayal, and college transfer. I originally attended UB (yes I know), where I was a DJ at WRUB. Simply put, it was not a fun time, After mulptiple instances on my being treated like dirt there, I came down to WBNY and asked Dave Vogan, the Program Director at the time, if I could have a show. He said yes. Fast forward one year and one transfer later, and now I'm the Music Director.

What time is your show and what type of show do you have?

The Punch Drunk Lovesick Theme Song Sing Along, on Friday nights from 11pm until 2am. This is a call-in Request show, where I pick a theme and I stick to that theme. However, if you're drunk, and you think that a song about pirates fits in a theme about ninjas, then you can request it, and I will play it for you.

How long have you been at WBNY?

I've been doing radio for two years now, and I've been doing it at WBNY for 1 or those 2 years
