In keeping its tradition of getting the jump on gay firsts, San Francisco radio just got more gay.
Energy 92.7, a dance music station, has just launched Fernando and Greg in the Morning, America’s first openly gay morning show duo on commercial radio. In a release from PR Newswire the morning show duo talks about how they got started:
"Our show really happened by accident," said Fernando Ventura. "We've known each other for over ten years from when we were working together in Texas. When I got offered the job in San Francisco with Energy, there was a definite need for content and Greg was a natural fit."
Greg Sherrell, known on air as "Greg, the Gay Sportscaster," started calling in as a guest to Fernando's morning show to talk about sports. "It really started with Barry Bonds and the whole BALCO scandal," said Greg." When newspaper headlines are screaming about men injecting each other in the butt, a gay sportscaster has a lot of material to work with, and it just grew from there."
