The remainder of Marty’s career was spent in Eau Claire from 1976 to 2003.  He was the National Sales Manager for Central Radio Group, and during his tenure with WAXX, the station won both a CMA and Marconi Station of the Year award.  On the programming side, Marty served as General Manager of WAYY and WEAQ.  Marty brought News/Talk Radio to Western Wisconsin in 1990 on WAYY.  He served on the board of directors of the WBA for 11 years and was Chairman in 1997, in addition to sering on the board of the National Association of Talk Show Hosts in the 1990s.  In 2006, Marty was elected to The Wisconsin Broadcaster Association Hall of Fame after a 40+ year career in Illinois, Texas, South Carolina, and the last 30+ years in Wisconsin.

After his retirement in 2003, Marty formed Marsan Consulting to work with small-market, independently-owned radio stations in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.  Marty has loved broadcasting since he was five years old and continues to mentor many young broadcasters.  He also served on the Eau Claire Redevelopment Board and was twice president of the Eau
Eau Claire Optimist Club.

Besides radio, Marty (Mr. Cub) has a passion for BASEBALL.  He served as the Goodwill Ambassador for the Eau Claire Express of the Northwoods Baseball League, and also continues to volunteer for various charitable organizations in the Chippewa Valley.  He was Co-Chair of MAJEC Movement for an Affordable Jail in Eau Claire in 2010.

Longtime 620WTMJ Packers voice Jim Irwin dead at 77
Posted 1/23/2012 9:21:00 PM

Today I lost a dear dear friend.....Jim Irwin, former voice of the Packers...died of Cancer at age 77

I came to Green Bay at WLUK-TV in 1967 from South Carolina and my 1st day I met several people who changed my life, like Larry Busse. One was Jim Irwin, the Sports Director, who had come from Missouri.  We became good friends, and as this TV station decided to telecast live softball games, I was lucky enough to do color to Jim's great play-by-play. He left TV11 a few years later to become the voice of the Packers and also did Badgers and Bucks games.

Jim Irwin was one of a kind and, along with Max McGee, did Packer Games for over 20 years. Like Harry Carey and Eddie Doucette, Jim had a unique style. We loved him and those of us who worked with him at WLUK in Green Bay ...

Posted 1/20/2012 1:19:00 PM

How can we have Energy Independence with Barack Obama as President.  We need to elect a Republican President…Senate and U.S. House.  And Republicans in control of our State as well.  Oh Yes….and keep Gov Walker here in Wisconsin.  Beat back the INSANE RECALLS.

Thanks to all of you who stop me and tell me to keep up the fight on Radio.  Since I retired 8 years ago my part-time job on WAYY with Bob Bosold and John Murphy is really rewarding.
 
If you ever watched “NETWORK,” I am mad as hell and can’t take it anymore.  The Silent Majority was heard from on 2010, it must be heard from again this Election Year.  I came from a poor family in Chicago….We never took a government handout of ...

SUPER PACs and McCain/Feingold
Posted 1/16/2012 10:05:00 PM

..At Monday's Republican Debate…Gov. Mitt Romney said he would try to do away with SUPER PACS.  As Chairman of the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association in the '90s I sat down with Senator Russ Feingold and urged him to  back away from the McCain-Feingold bill which he claimed would clean up politics.  I said it would have the opposite  effect and that SUPER PACS would distort records and would really benefit only broadcasters, not the voting public.  It was great to hear Mitt Romney agree all these years later with my stand against McCain-Feingold.  We should be able to donate directly to a candidate’s campaign.  SUPER PACS ARE BAD.

I believe Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate and he will defeat President Obama.
