He then crossed the bridge, and became news director and co-owner of WOLV-FM, WHKB-FM, and WCCY-AM. His weekly "Hall of Fame" country music classics show began on WHKB-FM, and is now broadcast on WCUP-FM. He is a member of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. For many years, Dick was part of the Weekend Cowboy Band, which performed traditional country music at many venues across the region. He has also been deeply involved in the Copper Country community in many other ways.

This will be an evening that fans of traditional country music, and friends of Mr. Storm, will not want to miss!
