94.5 The Hawk's weekday afternoon drive announcer, Mike Farrow gets Wilmington home from work every Monday - Friday between 3pm - 7pm with the perfect mix of craziness and information. Mike started his radio career at a small station in his hometown of Parkersburg, West Virginia while still in high school (“O.K., bring on the hillbilly jokes!!”). He went on to do radio in Pittsburgh, Pa., Johnstown, Pa., New London, Conn., and Providence, R.I. before discovering Wilmington.
After all these years Mike still considers it a thrill to do what he does for a living. “I get to be on the radio every day doing my thing as an entertainer and touching peoples lives with pertinent and sometimes lifesaving information. Not bad for a skinny-nerdy guy from West Virginia with no apparent skills.”
The "DuckMan" started his career in radio in 1976 in a little town in Alabama where he was attending a military school,. Let's see, that's 31 years of broadcasting experience (obviously, he must do it for the money!).
He was born in Alaska, Dad was a Green Beret. He loves to volunteer, was a key person in putting on the Pleasure Island Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival for 7 years, helped put together the Southern Coastal Bluegrass Festival and is currently working on the Cucalorus Film Festival. His voice you know and love, but he's also been known to do a little acting in a few movies, theatre and recently you can see him in a Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial. He is currently single and looking so be sure to tune in to his sultry voice!
Ducky loves the beach and Wilmington too! He came to be known as "Ducky"
because he waddled when he was a toddler. Aww, how cute!! Oh, yeah, and in whatever time he has left, he also has a DJ business on the side and specializes in wedding receptions--he's done well over 300!! Now, all that adds up to A LOT of experience!
