Written by Bob   
Bob Marrone spent most of is his career in the corporate sector specialization in training and communications before coming to radio. Bob set up and ran training schools and communications functions for such organizations as Merrill Lynch, Thomson Financial and the Securities Industry Association, and remains on the faculties of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting and the New York Institute of Finance. His communications experience includes speech writing, speech coaching, video production and voices.

Bob began his Broadcasting career in 2002, as a stringer for Time Warner Cable News, in New York, during which he wrote and produced daily and feature news stories. Since then, Bob has worked as a board operator and staff announcer, and hosted evening talk radio programs on WVOX and WRTN FM--WVIP’s predecessor--and on the World Talk Radio Network. He has been the host of Good Morning Westchester since March of 2007.

His love affair with radio began in the early sixties when his mother gave him a portable radio for his confirmation. Growing up in a house of mostly women, and only one TV, he was left to listen to ballgames and talk shows on that “8 transistor” gift. It was then that he heard such icons as Long John Nebel, Barry Gray and Barry Farber, and developed the interest that stays with him to this day. Bob’s other interests are an integral part of his radio career. He maintains a library containing over 2,000 books, among them source materials for writing and research, and is a charter member of Save-a-Connie, a successful effort to restore old airliners and established them as a flying museum. He also plays over-30 hockey, a sport he has been involved with for over 40 years. Bob majored in Political Science at St. John’s University.
