Sandy Beach is ending his 23-year run on WBEN in Buffalo at the end of this month. Beach has been working in radio for 52 years. He broke into the business as a DJ for WKBW (now WWKB) in Buffalo back in 1968 and, along the way has been a music director, PD, talk-show host and game producer for Buffalo Bills broadcasts.
Beach belongs to three hall of fames, including the New York State Broadcasters, Buffalo Broadcasters and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
The mouth that roared. KB, WBEN, Erie, Dallas, San Francisco, Milwaukee. Town to town – up and down the dial. Ah, the life of a radio vagabond
Joe Beamer should be doing voiceovers for Sponge Bob cartoons, certainly not Talk Radio.
Please do not let Beamer take over the show. Friday as a fill in is bad enough!
Enjoy retirement!! I hope Joe Beamer will be replacing Sandy Beach at the end of the month.
There was a Sandy Beach DJ from New Haven, CT many years ago. I wonder if this is the same person?
From what I understand, Hartford is where they gave him the name Sandy Beach. I believe it was his first radio job. Came from the Boston area. I am from Buffalo and recall when he first came to Buffalo
He was at WSPR in Springfield, Massachusetts (as Jack Diamond),in 1964,then went to WDRC in Hartford(as Sandy Beach), then to WKBW
Good luck Sandy. You will be missed by all that love you. And to your HATERS, bless your hearts.
All the best to you and your family. May God Bless You and provide you with all you need. Sad to say, Goodbye Sandy. May the journey of life be filled with happiness, good health and prosperity.
I will miss having breakfast with him every morning. I have been a listener to Sandy Beach for most of my 90 years of life.
Once I worked in radio, but I never had the opportunity to meet
him. What a delightful sense of humor he has. Greatest voice in radio and a decent person. God Bless you Sandy and your fiancée Bernadette. Have a happy life together. I was going to send you my book of poems as a wedding gift, but I’m sure you wouldn’t get it, but you would enjoy it. It’s called “God’s Pencil”, but it isn’t religious. You can order it on Amazon.
I’m sorry I will not hear anymore about “Anya” your new kitty.
I will miss Sandy on radio. I thank him for periodically for bringing me on his show and let me promote an event I had coming up! What a great guy and as a radio host he is second to none! Best of luck to you Sandy!
I will so much Sandy’s show along with Tony and Joe. His show starts my day out with laughter, news and so many other positive things. I will miss you, but wishing you and Bernadette many happy years together.
I LIKED HIM BACK IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN HE WAS A DJ, BUT ONCE HE STARTED HIS POLITICAL RANTS, LOST ALL RESPECT FOR HIM…
Its unfortunate that Beach supports a pathological lying president who is responsible for thousands of American deaths due to Trumps mishandling of the pandemic. Beach also supports a racist who was a known cheater. Tough way to end your career supporting the worst president in the history of our nation.
You’re a snowflake that believe the Democrat
does it matter when he started! I’m going to miss his laughter and on air discussions with everyone and anyone so sad but we all deserve to retire hope you’re getting out of New York Cuomo is NUTS!!!!
Yes, he started in Buffalo radio in 1968,but his fiancé, Bernadette, posted he started in radio 60 years ago.
I am going to miss listening to you every morning and all your lively , funny banter with Tony and Joe. Wish you and Bernadette much happiness.
Another great radio legend gone. With on one to fill his shoes maybe we’ll get more barule. No thanks.
Bauerle.
I have enjoyed listening to you.Enjoy your retirement.
Best wishes to you and your financee.
Good luck and whatever you do Sandy You’re a marvelous person and I wish you long life
Hi career as a DJ started much before coming to WKBW in Buffalo, NY in 1968. His career has been 60 years, plus was a three-time nominee for Billboard Magazine Personality of the Year.
It was WKBW back in 1968.
I guess you would know when he started his radio career, Bernadette.
