Listen to "Len's Legends" every weekday at 12:15PM & 6:15PM

Len “Uncle Len” Ellis, one might say, was country “when country wasn't cool." He is a man who gave country music an identity and an outlet marks sixty years in the industry in October 2009 – and to this day, to many, he's still known as “Uncle Len”.

Monday through Friday, at 12:15 and 6:15 pm, on Indiana 105 WLJE-FM 105.5 fm, you can tune in to hear Uncle Len introducing country classics and sharing classic tales in “Uncle Len's Legends'” -- a program that marked Uncle Len's return to the airwaves, October 2, 2006 during – when else -- “Country Music Month”.

Ellis is considered a visionary in the radio and country music industry. In 1983, he became a member of the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame. He was named one of ten “Legends of Country Radio” in an October 7, 1994, issue of the national radio and recording industry trade journal R&R. Ellis also holds card number one as a charter member of the Country Music Association (CMA), a group he helped form back in 1958. Ellis was on the first board of directors and holds CMA Card Number One. “I feel very privileged to have been a part of all of that,” Ellis said, noting little respect was afforded to country music at the time.

Listen to Lia every weeknight 7PM-Midnight!

I’m Lia. I’m the gal who can’t for the life of me keep a secret yet everyone seems to tell me their secrets anyway. I love my job. I’m happily married to the luckiest guy on earth, Chad. I have 4 kids. All of them smart, spoiled and love country music. In my spare time I play word games, mind games and lock myself in the bathroom for 5 minutes of peace at least once a day.  Here’s a secret about me:  I never talk on the phone when I’m not at work.  That could be because I do it every night for hours.  My sisters complain constantly about me never calling them back.  Even my husband occasionally goes to voice mail.  

Purely by accident, I got into Country radio.  Believe me when I say that I am sure my dad teamed up with God to make that happen. As far as this show goes, I just want you to know that we all work very hard each night to put this thing together. I'm so lucky to have such a great team of people to work with.

Cathy Martindale & Paul Schadt Co-Host Racing Country Sundays 8AM-10AM

Cathy Martindale's spent most of her radio career in Nashville at the legendary WSM AM/FM station, along with television hosting duties at The Nashville Network. She's interviewed just about everybody who's ever made the country charts!

One of Cathy's favorite memories is when she interviewed a 15 year old girl with the thought that this was going to be a pretty silly interview. An hour later, Cathy was telling Taylor Swift's manager that out of all the artists she's ever interviewed, this girl "gets it" more than anyone else... she just knows how to make it all work together... and she'd be a huge star. Taylor started jumping up and down and was almost in tears with excitement. The rest is history..... but, then again, Cathy walked out of a Randy Travis audition, thinking he couldn't carry a tune. So, she's the first to admit.... you never know where the next big thing is coming from!

In her spare time Cathy loves to jetski, saltwater fish, and work in the yard. Her favorite TV shows are Pawn Stars and Secret Millionaire!

Paul Schadt has been co-hosting zMax Racing Country, which combines his two loves NASCAR & Country Music, for twenty years! He has been on the Charlotte airwaves since 1981, hosting Charlotte's #1 rated Country Morning show Paul Schadt and Sarah.

Paul is also very involved with many different charities from St Judes to Easter Seals to the Red Cross and anyone else that needs a helping hand.

When he's not on the air, or out on location, you can find Paul doing his number one fun activity: spending time with his family; wife Kathy, son Adam, and daughter Emily. Any weekend when the sun is shining you'll find the Schadt's on a lake or at the beach.

Bob Guerra & Annie G Host New Music Nashville Sundays 10AM-11AM

Bob Guerra - With a career solidly based in broadcasting, Bob’s background could best be described as diverse and extensive. He received five nominations from either Billboard or Gavin Magazines as the Operations-Program Director of the Year, winning the coveted Gavin award in 1987.  Bob served as the Country Radio Seminar Agenda Chairman in 1993 and on the CRS Board of Directors. He is currently the Group PD for Denver Based Cherry Creek Radio

For seven years Bob was Director of Operations and Programming of America’s highest billing Country combo, KZLA/KLAC in Los Angeles. After leaving KZLA/KLAC he helped CBS Radio launch “The Arrow” also in L.A. and served as both a consultant to the Program Director and as Afternoon Drive air talent. The former Oldies station jumped from 20^th in the market to number two in just two ratings books. When he left “The Arrow” in 1994 he was the number one rated personality in the 25-54 demographic in the market.

Bob’s now heard on over 250 radio stations across the U.S.  He has also written, voiced, and produced many radio specials for artists such as Keith Urban, Toby Keith & Kenny Chesney.

Annie G - Anne’s just a little familiar with radio. Ten years on the air in San Francisco, ten in Los Angeles, eight in Nashville. There’s more to the story (TV, voiceover work, co-writing specials for labels, artist interviews) but what matters most is that she delivers the details on New Music Nashville and has since the show’s start. One memorable interview moment, says Annie G., is when Keith Urban told her he liked her hair. She added “yes, ladies, he really is a very nice guy”.

Country Gold with Randy Owen Sundays 7-11PM

Singer, guitarist, and songwriter Randy Owen is best known for being the lead singer in Alabama, the most successful group in the history of country music. Born on December 14, 1949, Owen and his cousin, Teddy Gentry, grew up on cotton farms on Lookout Mountain in Alabama, sharing a passion for singing and guitar. The duo played in a number of different bands during the '60s, teaming with another cousin, Jeff Cook, in high school to form Young Country in 1969. The band dissolved when Owen and Cook went off to college, but re-formed after they graduated. In 1972 they changed their name to Wildcountry and added drummer Bennet Vartanian, the first of several drummers in the band before Rick Scott took over the chair in 1974. Wildcountry changed their name to Alabama and signed a one-record contract with GRT in 1977, a contract that, thanks to an almost hidden clause, prevented the group from recording with another label after the GRT imprint folded. By 1979 the group was finally able to record again, but Scott opted out and was replaced by Mark Herndon, a former rock drummer whose harder approach was the last key to Alabama's signature sound. Following a self-released album and a pair of impressive independent singles, Alabama signed with RCA Records in 1980, releasing the single "Tennessee River" later that same year, jump-starting a career that resulted in 21 gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums; 42 number one singles; eight country music Entertainer of the Year honors; two Grammys; two People's Choice Awards; and their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before the group finally called it quits in 2003. Owen, by now a successful rancher, tested the waters for a solo career in 2008 when he released the album One on One, produced by John Rich of Big & Rich fame, on Broken Bow Records.
