Tom Kent was born and raised in Winston-Salem, NC. He first came to Northeast Ohio in the 70s at the ripe young age of 19 to host nights at WIXY 1260 in Cleveland where he was known as "Truckin Tom Cookin Kent". The immediate cold left him in almost permanent deep freeze and he left and vowed never to return. With the lure of more money and afternoons, he was asked to return to Cleveland in 1978 to host afternoons at WGCL "G-98" using the handle "TK Tom Kent" which has stuck to this day. There he met his lovely wife Karen. A funny thing happened, when he fell in love with Karen, he also fell in love with Cleveland. Although they headed off in early 1980 for Chicago's legendary WLS "The Big 89", Cleveland came calling again in 1988 when he returned for mornings and Program Director at Top 40 WRQC 92.1 FM (later "Jammin 92" ). TK vowed never to leave again and his Cleveland career has had him crossing paths with several of the current Majic staffers. "Joining the team at WMJI 105.7 is like attending a Cleveland family radio reunion for me! I couldn't me more excited to join the likes of Lanigan & Malone, Chuck Collier, Action Jackson and all the other Majic folks. Legendary station...with legendary personalities!"
While his storied career has taken him to several major cities, Cleveland is by far is favorite place. He loves the people, the climate, and the great culture of Northeast Ohio. His favorite places include the Cuyahoga Valley National Park , along Lake Erie and the Metroparks. He resides in suburban Cleveland with his wife Karen and three children Steven, Jackie, and Katie along with Lucy and Lola their two Bichon puppies.
"I could never understand why anyone would ever want to leave here. It's too hot and humid in the south, the West is too far away, the East is too crowded but ah...CLEVELAND is just right. Truly there is no better place to live and once you've enjoyed a few picnic sunsets on the Lake in the Summer, you know you've found the best location in the nation.
