Bill Tidwell, WAYRadio's Chief Engineer

Bill Tidwell, Chief Engineer

Where and when were you born?

Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville March 20th, 1960; Lowes gift cards are fine.

When did you get into radio/television and why?

When I was 6 weeks old I was taken to the dedication of WAYRadio AM (1960): I didn't say much. The first time I spoke on the air was when my Daddy was helping my sister's family move next to the radio station and it was time for the news to be read live and I was the only one available. I was about 12

When did your relationship with Jesus start?

When I was 12 (no connection to first time on the air!)

Where is the favorite place you’ve lived?

I've only lived in 3. My present home in Valdosta would be the best.

What is your best childhood memory?

Sunday afternoon walks in the North Florida "piney woods" with my family; I had 5 siblings. I had 4 great years on Kingsley Ave in Orange Park exploring what used to be woods and playing in the "haunted " Yerkes monkey laboratory across the road.

What sports team (if any) do you always root for?

None

Who is your current favorite musician?

I 'm pretty in eclectic in my music, but Allison Krause or Fernando Ortega are both pretty close.

Other than the Bible, what book are you reading now?

“Creation and Time, A Report on the Progressive Creationist Book by Hugh Ross” by Mark Van Bebber and Paul S. Taylor

What is your favorite vacation spot?

Anywhere I don't feel guilty turning off my cell phone. My staff are sure the equipment knows when I leave and decide to start acting up.

What vacation spot have you always wanted to go to, but haven’t yet?

Any Caribbean island will do

What would be a perfect Friday night for you or your family?

We enjoy a good pizza and movie and put away the "Healthy Snack" book for the night

What is your favorite food?

It's a toss-up between a 1" medium rare ribeye or a Cosmic Karma pizza from the Mellow Mushroom.

Do you have any pets?

Only financially speaking. My daughters have two dogs; a calm Heinz 57 mutt and a lunatic, co-dependent lab/english bulldog mix
