Bill Artlip started at XRT as a music programming intern in 1994.

Connecticut School of Broadcasting gave him the education to obtain radio gigs as a mobile reporter for Shadow Broadcast Services, spinning big band vinyl at WFXW in Geneva, a DJ for Kenosha rocker WIIL and the music director / morning show co-host at WSUE in the UP’s Sault Ste.
