Radio Bob Gilmore

If there’s something related to Radio, Broadcasting, RF & Audio, I’m likely to find my way there. It’s something I have in my daily diet. My early years as a teen hanging out in radio stations and TV transmitter buildings have helped shape my hunger for the business. I started doing announcing part-time in 1976 and still do some limited radio announcing today for a few area radio stations in Connecticut. I spent 14 years doing Sunday mornings for WEBE 108. In the big picture, I was hired at ABC Radio as Project Engineer in 1999. Assignments were to build new control rooms and support affiliates with the Starguide III rollout. Soon there after I found myself upgrading systems, supporting all the studios and control rooms. I was promoted twice in my 9 year tenure there eventually ended up being Systems Engineering Manager in 2008 before I came to ESPN in Bristol. ESPN Radio has been my home to my daily diet of radio since May 2008. Some of my most enjoyable moments in the business have been spent here at ESPN Radio with the expansion of our new Control Rooms and Studios in 2011. My hobby’s are quite centered on radio as well. I’m a licensed Extra Class Amateur Radio Operator, call sign WD1M. I was President of the Fairfield Amateur Radio Association in 1991. I have archived over 7,000 audio airchecks dating back into my childhood and list many on my home page, www.bobgilmore.com. I am a lifelong resident here in Connecticut.
