Daniel has been at WBCU since February of 2004.  An Anderson, SC, native, he graduated from Pendleton High School in 1999, and Toccoa Falls College in May of 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in Radio Broadcasting.  He credits his voice change and love of music to leading him into the radio field.  “Everyone would always tell me I should be on the radio with my voice sounding the way it did when it changed,” he said.  “I always loved music and wanted to be around it, but didn’t have the talent to sing for a living, so I figured I should play music for a living, instead.”  While at TFC, he got his start in radio helping cover the 2000 elections in Toccoa with Lamar Ramey.  A couple of years later, he interned at WNEG, leading to a part-time job.  He worked full-time at the Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting home office in Toccoa for a few months after graduation before moving to Union.  He is the host of the afternoon “Drive with Daniel,” where he keeps listeners entertained and informed by playing the best new country and older favorites, while sharing country artist news.  In his nearly non-existent spare time, he enjoys reading, music, church activities, and Boogaloo Folk Life Productions plays.  He is a member of First Baptist Church, where he sings in the choir and helps with the youth and children.  He is a newlywed, having married Katie Holden, a 5th grade science teacher at Excelsior Middle School in Union, on July 14, 2007. 

 

 

Mike Stevens
Morning Show Host
mike@wbcuradio.com

Mike Stevens came full circle when he returned to WBCU on September 1, 2003.  Mike actually began in media career 45 years ago as a 15 year old part-time announcer with his hometown radio station.  Since that first day behind the mic his career has taken him on a path as wide and varied as one could imagine.  Mike is a graduate of Camden Military Academy which he says was the best years of his life.  His intentions were to make a military career as a pilot but poor vision nixed that plan. Following graduation he enrolled at what was then Wingate Junior College and later became a student at USC-Union the first year it opened.  Later he moved to Washington, DC to enroll in Grantham School of Electronic where he studied to receive an Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering.  He still proudly holds his General Class Radio Telephone Operators License, formally known as First Class License, the highest one offered by the Federal Communication Commission.  Mike returned to WBCU on several occasion, first in 1969 to become the stations first full-time News Director. It was during that period that he received an award from the South Carolina American Legion for Meritorious Service for assisting Deputy Sheriff’s James Lane in pulling an unconscious man from a burning house.  In the Late 1970’s Mike was asked to return to WBCU by then station owner Ed Osborne to become Operations Manager following five years with the SC Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism where he worked as a Public Information Specialist and for one and a half of those years as Public Relations Director at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston. SC.  He once again left WBCU to accept a position of General Manager of WAPT AM-FM in Marion, SC.  Following that tenure, Mike opted to go into business for himself and returned to Union to found the Union County Shopper which evolved into Stevens Publishing Company, a commercial printing firm. He sold that business and later acquired the Whitmire News which he successfully operated for about five years. As a result of some health issues, he sold the newspaper to Hometown News and shortly after was asked to return once again to WBCU as the morning announcer. Over the years Mike has accumulated a number of awards for his service to his communities including the coveted Distinguished Service Award, however his proudest achievement is becoming a granddaddy to Brody Oz Daulton last April.  Mike recently published his first book, Satan’s Sanctuary, a work of Christian fiction available on-line and at Barnes and Noble.  Mike also serves in a part-time position as Minister of Music of the West Spring Baptist Church.  He is often called on to sing and speak in area churches.
