After 18 years at WKYC TV 3, as a chief meteorologist, morning anchor, reporter and everything in between, Mark Nolan is back in the medium that started it all for him... radio. "There's nothing like cracking that microphone, talking up a Sly and the Family Stone tune and getting into the music."
After 18 years at WKYC TV 3, as a chief meteorologist, morning anchor, reporter and everything in between, Mark Nolan is back in the medium that started it all for him... radio. "There's nothing like cracking that microphone, talking up a Sly and the Family Stone tune and getting into the music."
Mark's seen studio time in radio station's in East Liverpool, Warren, Kent, Akron and Cleveland starting at the age of 19. "I had a Sunday morning Big Band show on a radio station in East Liverpool, Ohio. Les Brown, Benny Goodman... My grandma was my biggest fan... I didn't care, though... I was 19 and had my own show!"
Nolan was born in Cleveland and grew up in farm country in southeast Ohio. After graduating from Kent State, he worked at the old WAKC TV-23 in Akron as the 6 & 11 weather anchor. "I left the TV job because there was more money in radio for me at the time and didn't think I'd ever see the inside of a TV station again... That's when Channel 3 Called"
Mark worked as a fill-in meteorologist and SLOWLY worked his way around Channel 3 holding a number of different titles. "I miss my Channel 3 friends but, it was time to move on and get back to my roots. I wanted to clear my head and remember why I got in this business", said Nolan.
So, now it's mid days 10-2 on Majic 105.7. The new schedule leaves Mark with plenty of time for his other hobbies. "I'll spend hours out in my shop working on everything from my race cars to motorcycles to yes, my daily driver, 'Frankentruck'".
So, when you see a guy in a Carhart ball cap driving a multi-colored 1991 Chevy truck with every bit of 315,000 miles on it, tell him you love Majic 105.7!
