Mike Elliott (radio personality)

Mike Elliott (John Michael Elliot) is a voice over artist and radio personality.[1]

Mike Elliott's radio career has taken him from Maine to Pittsburgh,[2][3] Tampa and Orlando,[1] to Los Angeles, to Phoenix (KZZP) and Tucson, Arizona, where he had the highest-rated morning show in the contemporary-hit format according to Arbitron [1] holding a 25 share in the Tucson market. That means that one out of every four radios that were turned on in Tucson in the morning was tuned to his show.[4] Elliott co-hosted a morning show on 93.7 KRQ with Jimmy Kimmel from 1992-1994.[5]

In 1996 Elliott built WBZN - Z-107.3 / Bangor, Maine from a construction permit into a CHR market leader, owning it for two years.[6]

Mike Elliott & co-worker "Bill" LaTour wrote the parody song "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" in 1986 which reached Number 1 on The Dr. Demento's Funny Five chart.[7]
