If the voice sounds comfortable & familiar, it’s most likely because Mark Hunter has been entertaining folks,"On the Air" in the Tennessee Valley since 1989. A native Midwesterner, Mark began his career at his small hometown radio station in Baraboo, Wisconsin, the Birthplace of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. As a kid he woke up on summer mornings to a mix of music and it was a toss- up as to which would wake him up first.  Would it be the sound of circus music from the steam powered calliope being played across town at The Circus World Museum or country music from his clock radio? Anything having to do with music has been sort of a sirens' call ever since. Pretty much a lifer in the radio/music business, Mark enjoyed his years at Country Q106-FM in Madison, WI. until a headhunter called from out of the blue and asked him where he’d like to go. Next stop for him, his wife and two daughters ended up being the Rocket City at 1230 WBHP where he worked mornings with legendary newsman Mike Sweeny. Big B Radio was just a couple of blocks east of where he first met John Malone at WAHR (Star 99.1).  Both were well known for community involvement with local nonprofits & charities and it was only a matter of time before they ended up working together (more than once). After a tour of duty at Hot Country 100.7 WDMS in the Mississippi Delta, Mark was more than ready to settle back into the area. John gave him that opportunity (and Mark’s grateful that he did) here at 105-5 WYTM.
