(ABOVE) WE SALUTE AND REMEMBER GREG HARRINGTON! GREG HAD THE MOST DANGEROUS JOB IN RADIO! YES….THERE WAS A DANGERIOUS JOB IN RADIO, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY JOB BEHIND THE MIC EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT! GREG’S JOB WAS TO CLIMB RADIO TOWERS AND DO MAINTENANCE ON THEM! HE IS MOST REMEMBERED AS THE GUY THAT CHANGED THE RED LIGHT BLUBS THAT BLINKED ON AND OFF, ON THE RADIO/TV TOWERS ALL UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST! GREG DIED WHEN HIS SAFETY HARNESS BROKE WHILE CLIMBING THE WMVA TOWER IN MARTINSVILLE, VA, MARCH 27TH, 2006! I MISS GREG! HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY TO ME BEFORE A CLIMB… “MADLAD, ARE YOU SURE THE POWER IS OFF??”
