Tim Daugherty
Tim Daugherty has played a variety of roles with WONE since the very first day it was on the air. A member of the original staff, he has been heard on every shift around the clock; morning, noon, and nights, even overnights!
These days, Tim is the guy to turn to for a rockin' ride in the evenings! Tune him in weekdays from 7pm - Midnight.
The Rock & Roll Authority as he's been called, (and not just because Daugherty and Authority rhyme so well), is known to drop in weird and little known factoids about almost everything rock-related under the sun. Tune in and see for yourself.
The summer concert series comes to a close at Blossom tonight when The Who take the stage with the last two remaining original members: Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. As long as I can remember, there has been a band called The Who. I liked their early stuff from the…

Written by Tim Daugherty
Here comes another Labor Day Weekend, the day set aside to celebrate the American worker. Many believe however that Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, will soon put us all out of our jobs, (and many have believed this for years). I've seen big tech change plenty in my industry…

Here We Go Brownies, Here We Go! (Woof-Woof)
Written by Tim Daugherty
The Browns are at home to play the Lions in one more pre-season game. It's a 7:30 kick-off. Catch all the action here on 97.5 WONE. They've had a strong pre-season but that's all wiped away after tonight. The real test happens between the final whistle tonight and the Titans…

Boxes of Guilt is a term my wife and I call the mountains of pictures we both collected while raising our respective families. These pictures date back to the lives we had with our respective late spouses. Now, we're facing a downsizing move to smaller quarters and we wonder what…

Your news feed may be filled with pictures of pups today. That's because it's National Dog Day. It's celebrated on August 26th in many countries and was created to bring attention to the plight of animals and to encourage adoption. We love our doggos. I don't want to take anything…

Splash pads are coming to Akron just in time for the kids who will be heading back to school soon. It seems oddly timed but better late than never. Mayor Dan Horrigan was on hand for the unveiling at Joy Park Community Center on what turned out to be a sunny,…

I was a little surprised last week when my trash got tagged. It said my recycle bin contained things they would not take such as plastic bags. I know some people put their recyclables in those blue plastic bags. If you do, don't waste your money. Most municipalities don't take…

Woodstock turns 50 this weekend and everyone's talking about it. My memories aren't as vivid as others. I was not there. I was nine and heading into 4th grade. My parents wouldn't have taken me even if I'd asked and my brother and sister, (15 and 12 respectively), didn't go…

Sometimes you need to look no further than the headline of a story to get the jist of what's going on. For more complicated matters, it's always best to take the time to keep yourself fully informed. But in this business, I amuse myself by searching out the weird of…
