Regularly heard on THE COAST right before Breakfast with the Beatles and fills in brilliantly covering for vacations. And on the late side of Sunday's, co-owner, Vicky Watts is your host for the evening. Also on air: Sarah Haye, for many years your morning host on The Coast left mornings to be a mother. Sarah now also covers for us for vacations and more plus it wouldn't be a Big Fun Fair if Sarah didn't dress up in a sumo suit or challenge Marie on the Wrecking Ball for all of our enjoyment. Russ Faust a long-time Mendocino Coast resident and Coast Crew alumnus. The Coast’s unique blend is right up his alley … you can tell how much he loves the music! He's a huge fan of LIVE entertainment (a few bands have even been known to drag him up to sing a number or two)! Russ says after being away for nearly 15 years, coming back to The Coast (both the Radio Station and the shores of the brilliant blue Pacific) really feels like coming home. Off air, Jamie Peters is The Coast's Account Executive who has got to be one of the most personable people you'll ever meet. Worked in the sales department at KPIX in San Francisco. She can help businesses promote their products and services with clear concise radio ads. Sam Russell who runs us all at The Coast and the office has been at many of the LA (KPPC, KPFK, KMET, KLOS, KLSX) and SF (KSFX, KKCY) stations with Tom, Kate and Joe Regelski in varying capacities. We also have to mention our Engineer, Bill Rett.... if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here. And he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the music.
