I first walked into a Radio Station WNAB Bridgeport Connecticut at age 15 years. I did grunt work filing 78 records and sixteen transcription after school. Also learning basic electronic from Norm Howard. I found working behind the scene more interesting than behind the Mic at that time, I also learn to cut blank laquaers or radio delay broadcast disc and commercial spots that lead to a job at the Columbia Record factory from my uncle who work there at the head of manufacture. My Job was to cut 45 and rpm master and long play records. That lasted until it was time for me to go into the Military in 1962. I was in the Air Force from 1962 – 66 and was active reserve until 1970. After the Air force I went to school on the GI Bill and got my first class commercial FCC ticket. That took two months. I went to California and got a job at KWTC Barstow, California. I obtain a job doing an all night programme, call “Truck Stop” it was a Country and Western Show. In 1970 I went back home and got a job and work the Scully Recording Instrument Company . After a year I got a job at WWCOFM/WIOF Waterberry. A new Country FM Station, that lasted until 1974 when the station went Automated. After a few years I went to work at Fair field University in 1980 in the A/V Department. I did maintenance on the Radio station keeping everything legal it went from 10 watts to 250 watts on 88.5 MHZ.

Damian 'The Phantom' Wilson
I am kind, sweet, adorable, reserved...stop the tape who is this?
The phantom is controversial, argumentative and we could go on. What goes on behind the scenes of the good morning show is nothing short than kaious.
As energetic and as lively as he can be he needs two things coffee & redbull to start his day.
Crazy, is how the doctors diagnosed him, his physiotherapist wild, his girlfriend (no comment).
We spoke to the Director that had this to say, 'when we met and talked I realised that even although he talks to himself and enjoys nagging others he could be useful, so we teamed him and the chicken up as no one wanted to work with him. Well since he ate the chicken, a replacement has been hard.'
Damian likes to walk on the wild side and laughs at Danger. He loves issues and problems but they don't like him.
His wit and creativity has allowed morning Radio to be halted leaving the competition searching for remedies but no antidote.
Damian loves to read, sleep, talk, talk did we say talk yeah talk. He loves to travel and enjoys helping those when in need. He is apart of many organisations which means little sleep and is a workaholic. Loves a competition, whether its music, sports, issues, politics, life, women... Damian can get the party started.
Damian is not only host to the Good Morning Show 7 to 10 but is a sales rep in North and Middle Caicos. He assists with outside broadcasts,
Plays host on jobs like the Do it Center expo and the most memorable Reggae Sumfest, but that is another episode.
