Sean B. - A New Superman Flies In with New Tuesday Show

WIXY1260Online is happy to announce its newest Superman, Sean B. Sean B.’s love of music spans more than just his 3 years in radio .  He is a graduate of the Ohio Center for Broadcasting. During school he interned for WINT in Eastlake and became part of their permanent staff upon graduation.  Sean’s humor and creativity can be expressed in his own words, “I'm from Parma (unfortunately), covered in tattoos, and pretty stupid 95% of the time. I like dogs, tacos and alcohol. I dislike cats, meatloaf (the food, not the musician), and not having alcohol.”  Sean’s enthusiasm, willingness to be creative and thoughtful and easy-going attitude should prove entertaining to our listeners and help us usher in a new generation of WIXY lovers. **Sean B. will be on the air beginning June 7, 2016  every Tuesday from 3-7 PM
