Bart Prater.

From 1968 until 1981, Prater's wit and gruff delivery helped make WROV-AM

radio, the listeners never knew him very well.

NUTS AND OUTGOING, AND I'M NOT. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY QUIET AND WITHDRAWN.

WOULD TELL IT THINGS I SHOULDN'T.))
For example: something he once told that friend about fellow deejay Rob
O'Brady.
((BART PRATER: AND SOMETHING HAD ANNOYED HIM. AND I SAID "AND BOY, DID THAT
PERTURB O'BRADY OFF." AND THEN I REALIZED WHAT I HAD SAID. BECAUSE I WAS SO
COMFORTABLE WITH THIS MICROPHONE, YOU KNOW. AND TURNED LIKE SEVEN SHADES OF
RED. COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. AND THEN I SAID "WELL, IT DID!" AND WENT ON.))
Prater eventually did a stint at K-92, then walked away from the microphone
in the late '80s.
Today, the man once known as the "Wizard of Rock" is an engineering wizard
at public radio station WVTF in Roanoke.
((BART PRATER: IT'S A LOT OF FUN. IT'S JUST A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO BE
DOING, INSTEAD OF SITTING IN A STUDIO ALL DAY, WHICH IS THE WAY I LIVED MY LIFE

When he checks out radio stations today, he doesn't always like what he
hears.
