Yvonne Greer

Yvonne is one of those energetic people that thrive on having lots to do. Fortunately for her, she has chosen dual careers in broadcasting and fitness that keep her as happy as they keep her busy. (The Energizer bunny’s got nothin’ on her.)

Yvonne was born in Detroit, Michigan and lived there until her early teens, when she moved to the Chicago suburbs. She began working to help support herself at age 15, and put herself through college at the University of Illinois. She graduated in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism. She accepted a job at WMBD-TV/AM in Peoria, Illinois and worked there as a television news reporter, anchor, and producer from 1991-1996. It was then Greer teamed up with her husband Greg Batton to do a radio show on WMBD-AM. (He got to be the funny one ‘cause everyone in town knew her as “the newslady”.)

In the midst of her broadcasting career, Yvonne discovered her knack for physical fitness, and her ability to help others do the same. She became a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer and started her own business called Power Zone. (http://www.YourPowerZone.com) (Look out Billy Blanks!)

Since then, Yvonne’s life has been a tapestry of jobs… talk radio with Greg, fitness classes and personal training, television appearances and voice-overs, public speaking, and managing her business. In her “spare” time she likes to dine with friends, play dolls with her daughter, and sing the songs she’s written herself. The thread holding it all together is Yvonne’s passionate desire to help others live lives of their own design. (A little nap from time to time helps too).

Yvonne and Greg joined the Chicago radio scene in 2002, doing a brief stint at WLS. They live in the Chicago suburbs with their daughter Ginger and Greg’s son David. Yvonne manages the group fitness department at LifeTime Fitness in Burr Ridge and is proud to work with the staff at WGN! (Yeah Baby!)

Do Sicilians count?

For years WGN has been succesful doing "safe and boaring" radio. There is a market for that. A lot of white people like "safe and boarding". Hell, they have a weekend show called "Pet Central". Nothing says "white" more than that. They also have gardening shows in the Spring and Summer. They broadcast for old/white and suburban, middle to upper class white people that are scared of black people.

WGN feels their audience wouldn't accept a black host. They are probably correct.

Larry, I betcha if Hampton posted on the board, he would know the difference between bore, boar and board. Hell, he may even be able to throw boor in there, as well.

Give it to me, Larry...

Mr. Reason is an example of WGN's target audience. He's old/white and would listen to a show about tomato plants.

Larry, you seem to know far more about WGN radio than I do. Other than Cub games, I rarely listen.
While I may be a cracker, you're just a crumb and a dumb one at that. You're also a boor.

I recently saw newsman David Jennings in the Michigan Avenue studio, he looked black to me.

Whereas the last white guy on black radio was Bob Wall!

Why do I have to be a "white dumbass"? Why can't I just be a dumbass? We all bleed the same color. Why the distinction? What are you trying to say? Only crackers can be dumb?

It was a play on Mr. Reason's post where he called you the "white Larry."

White Larry
White Dumbass

See what I did there?

Mr. Reason was comparing me to Larry. So calling me the "white Larry" would apply. You were comparing me to nobody when you called me a dumbass. No need to say "white".

See what I did there?

This is escalating into retarded levels that I thought were not remotely possible even by a CSFMB member...

Hack, there are no unreachable retard levels when Beardown is involved.

point taken...

Relax, Kid. I'm just messing with you on the "white dumbass" thing. Although my point is still valid. You could have just called me a dumbass.

It's too easy to push your buttons. Makes it less fun.

Beardown, I purposely make it less fun to push my buttons because I know that's what you like to do. In the words of Larry Zbyszko, "It's a human game of chess."

Yeah. You know it but you always fall into the trap.

Yeah but sometimes it's just too hard for me to resist responding. I gotta stop being so gullible.

All I did in this thread was point out that WGN doesn't hire black people. I mean, they've hired a few, but the percentage over their history has to be 99.9% white. Those they have hired have had small roles. I don't know why that offended you.

I wouldn't say it offended me. It just seems like every one of your posts involve race somehow...it's just a little irritating to me. I'm not offended.

Why go after only WGN? WLS-890AM fired Nate Clay a while ago. Is there a black or hispanic host still on WLS-890AM ?

Do the radio stations targeted at the black demographic have any white hosts?

I liked Nate Clay.

And anyone would be better than Jerry Springer. Although I did hear a bit of his show today before B&B and it wasn't bad.

If you find intelligent conversation on today's issues boring then I guess you'd find WGN boring.

What I like about WGN is it's a mixed bag politically. John Williams and Kathy and Judy are liberal. Steve Cochrane is more conservative.

Beardown you called all those shows douchebags. How can you honestly say that if you've never listened to them?

Pet Central is actually very informative if you have pets. Steve Dale gave me advice that may have saved my dog's life.

Mr. Fix it is also good.

It's a variety of programming. If you like the same thing 24/7 that's your cup of tea.

And they have talented people. Every line doesn't have to be an innuendo because they respect their audience has an IQ higher than their clothes size.

Are there any white hosts on WGCI or V-103?

not many only other black host other than Floyd Brown I can remeber was Jan Coleman she was a long time news person on the Eddie Schwartz show and she hosted a show for a while on the weekends in the 90's,

Nobody calls you that as far as you know!

Here's a Thread ReWind . Bob Wall was white and did mornings at GCI during the late 1970's and early 80's. The show was R&B /soul /disco and was targeted to the black demographic. He was #1 in the Chicago market , trading places as #1 with WGN and maybe "Steve and Garry" every other ratings period until the sexcapades forced him out. I doubt there are any white hosts on GCI or V-103 today.
