SWING TIME

With

Norm Vincent

Saturdays 2:00 - 4:00 PM

 

Veteran broadcaster Norm Vincent hails from the Boston area, with college in Ohio (Denison University), and 41 months as an active duty Naval officer along the way,  before arriving in Jacksonville in September, 1956. He hosted WMBR Radio's top-rated morning drive show, "Top O'The Morning" for a couple of years, then moved into sales.  In 1962 Norm assumed management of WZOK in Jacksonville, leaving in 1966 to devote fulltime Norm Vincent Sound Recording Studios, Inc.  In the spring of 1975 he was appointed director of Radio Operations for Jacksonville's Public Radio Station, WJCT-FM, and it was here in 1976, when SWING TIME first hit the airwaves, with Norm producing and hosting what has become important listening for lovers of big bands and music of the swing era.  In the mid 90's, SWING TIME moved to Jones College Radio, but due to format changes Norm decided to relocate SWING TIME to radio station WROS-AM (1050) and on the web site www.wros.net .  Norm is well-known for his smooth, articulate and listener-friendly on-air presentation, always letting "the music speak for itself."
