Chaz

Co-host

Chaz grew up in Connecticut listening to this WPLR.  As a young boy he dreamed maybe one day he would win a contest and get a tour of the studios. He knew the name of every on- air personality like a crazy fan would know every Yankee or Red Sox player.

When he was 13 years old, he got a summer job at a small radio station and that was all she wrote. He had a few “real” jobs along the way but it was just so he could pay the bills until the radio thing worked out.

He became an intern at WPLR in 1986 and worked his way up to hosting the night show, which was the air shift his idol “Stone Man” once occupied. The show was called “Camp Chaos with Chaz” and was the number one rated night show in the state. 

In 1995, he went on to do morning show based in Dallas, Texas. In 1998 moving to Long Island he teamed up with AJ in 1998 creating “Chaz and AJ in the Morning”, a comedy based top of mind listener interactive show that quickly became number one. 

In 2003, Chaz was offered to move back home to host morning drive on 99.1 PLR New Haven. Chaz and AJ in the Morning has been the number one morning show in CT since.

What makes your station/show great?

WPLR has set the standard for rock radio for almost 50 years. Our show is an electronic town hall meeting held in a frat house. A breakfast table for 3 million every morning. The Tribe keeps it fresh and exciting.

If you didn’t do radio, what would you do?

Navy Seal Sniper, Supreme Court Justice or Chef
