Please feel free to contact Jeff for reference's
contact numbers
Jeff Lamb has given our station a fresh, bold sound.
Last fall, we launched a new network, new call
letters and new graphics from sign-on to sign-off.
Every word was re-written in the process. Jeff,
delivered high quality voiceovers with an almost
instant turnaround.
He also provides voiceover work for special project
on our FOX station.

To: Whom It May Concern:
I have known Jeff Lamb both personally and
professionally for well over twenty years and have
found him, without fail, to be an outstanding
individual, gifted with extraordinary voice talent
and unusually strong production skills.
While Vice-President/General Manager of WWCK- FM in
Flint, I had the honor of working with Jeff as he
scored superlative ratings, national awards and a
coveted contract with Westwood One though his
efforts on “Buffalo Dick’s Radio Ranch.”
Subsequently, as I was Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer of Reams Broadcasting, Jeff
brought WIOT- FM in Toledo its highest morning show
audience in the station’s history as host of “The
Dawnbusters” in the early ‘90’s. Extended success on
WIOT and the ability to later bring much of his Ohio
listenership to WXKR stand as further testimony to
his broadcast skills and abilities.
Jeff displays an excellent work ethic and, despite
singular honors and success as a solo performer, has
always been a team player, prioritizing group
achievement and recognition above all else.
Mr. Lamb also has enjoyed a superlative grasp of
essential business fundementals and the critical
correlation between product, sales and marketing. It
is a joy to be associated with such a well-grounded
performer.
I would look forward to being again associated with
Jeff at some future time and, meanwhile, extend for
him my highest formal recommendation.
Please feel free to contact me for further comment
or observations, should such be appropriate.
Most sincerely,
Peter Cavanaugh

Re: Jeff Lamb
To whom it may concern:
I had the pleasure of hiring Jeff in 1997 as the
Morning Show host of WXKR, a new Classic Rock
station in Toledo, Ohio. Our main competitor was Bob
and Tom on WIOT, a heritage Rocker owned by Clear
Channel. In spite of a limited promotional budget,
in three books, Jeff and his cast of characters,
beat WIOT and maintained their foothold on the
Toledo Rock market since then. I found Jeff to be
one of the most talented Morning Show hosts I’ve
ever managed….a true team player interested in the
success of the station. He possesses a cast of
characters second to none and show prep some of the
big boys ought to pay attention to. I believe his
strongest asset is his interaction with clients and
listeners. He’s the best entertainer at events a
manager could ask for…nothing is beneath him…a trait
hard to find in talent these days! It is my belief,
Jeff possesses the professionalism and talent to be
a franchise player for any company.

To Whom It May Concern:
Jeff Lamb came on board to do mornings with some
very big shoes to fill. Our very popular morning
show had just left for a bigger market and we were
fortunate to get Jeff when he became available from
our competitor.
Jeff not only exceeded expectations, but was a team
player as well. His positive attitude was
infectious in the station.
If I had the opportunity to hire Jeff Lamb again, I
would certainly do it and fast, before my
competitors had a chance.
Sincerely,
Bill Parshall

To Whom it May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff
Lamb twice in my radio career. He is a very talented
and hardworking team player.
He understands radio on all levels, broadcasting as
well as being very sales oriented. He has been a
premier entertainer in all aspects in the Toledo
market. Jeff Lamb really knows how to play to the
audience and work a live crowd.
I hope to have the pleasure of working with him
again, If I had my way. He is a delightful,
heartwarming individual who is loyal to the end.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
In 1996 at WMBD in Peoria, we found ourselves in a
position of having to create a brand new kind of
television morning show. To counter program the
competition’s news shows, we decided ours would be
an entertainment program that did a little news. It
was intended to be a morning radio show on TV, and
in fact, we simulcast it on our FM station for the
first four months to get it launched. The key to
the success of this show was clearly the talent, and
the most crucial hire would be the person around
whom the show would revolve. We needed a wacky,
talented centerpiece talent. Because of his great
track record in Toledo, and the success of his
nationally syndicated radio show, we chose Jeff
Lamb.
The Morning Mix became an unprecedented success and
was copied across the nation. We went from a
distant 3rd in the morning, to a close number two
(with a bullet)! The Morning Mix continued to grow
for 8 consecutive books while Jeff was with the
show! Jeff provided a never ending supply of
characters, well written bits, and continually
offered imaginative elements to assure the continued
upward growth of the show. He took ownership in the
show and did everything necessary to assure its
success. If a client needed to be nudged or
schmoozed, Jeff was there with the salesperson to
help. If the cast needed to make a promotional
appearance, even if it was in the evening, Jeff was
there. If a bit needed to be shot at an odd hour,
Jeff was there. He simply wouldn’t allow the show
to do anything but succeed.
Although Jeff’s impressive resume was more than
enough to get this job, he had to overcome another
obstacle. Being my brother added a layer of
complexity. Hiring (and working for) a sibling can
create all kinds of problems. Jeff and I worked
hard to make sure that there was no appearance of
special privilege for him. Perhaps the potential
for that perception caused Jeff to work even harder,
to go out of his way to do more than was required.
When Jeff’s initial two year contract was about to
expire, my boss, the president of our company,
offered him a new three year contract with a
beginning 50% pay bump. At the same time, a Toledo
radio station offered to double what we were paying
him and reluctantly, I advised him to take it.
I think you will find Jeff to be one of the most
creative people with whom you’ll ever work. He
brings a refreshing enthusiasm and energy to his
work because he loves what he does. If you would
like to have further discussion, please don’t
hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Bill Lamb
General Manager

To Whom It May Concern:
Jeff Lamb and I worked together on the Morning Mix
morning show on WMBD-TV in Peoria, Illinois for over
a year. I would recommend him without
qualification for a position in your organization.
While working with Jeff, he put together many
outstanding creative presentations, from
conceptualization through researching and
fine-tuning. His creativity, resourcefulness and
"stick-to-it" approach made his presentations
unique, entertaining and very successful.
Jeff is a "people" person; one who can relate to
everyone, inspiring those around him to do their
best for the "team." He is an effective
communicator, a good coordinator, and sets a good
example for others to follow. Finally, Jeff Lamb's
sensitivity, diligence, energy and sense of humor
made him fun to work with and be around.
I am confident that he would make a great addition
to your staff, paying dividends immediately, if
given the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Daniel I Rovner
