Ladies and Gentlemen… The Swinging Gates. Tony was first introduced to the glamour of local celebrity status during his time spent as the only male member of the tap dancing trio, “The Swinging Gates”. Tensions mounted within the group when it became clear Tony was the most talented.

Tony starting out. Itching to get out of a small town, Tony left Litchfield, MI to experience college life at Grand Valley State University.

THE Tony Gates

Tony and Ed back in the day! Our very own, Ed Buchannan hired Tony back in the day… (Please direct all complaints his way.)

Before Producer Laura – Tony actually answered the phones! Not much else from this time period can be recalled by Tony… or any of the acquaintances he made.

These are his (awesome) Kids. Despite having Tony as a father, Keegan and Zak are both well adjusted, successful, and happy!

The Only B*tch in Tony’s Life……is totally not a b*tch. This regal creature, Beau (Boo) is his best friend, hunting partner and the only lady in his life that doesn’t give him grief!

He is an Avid Outdoorsman

What a catch!! ….The fish that is. He passes on his love and “knowledge” of the outdoors by making sure resources are available for kids to enjoy these activities.

This cute little boy….is actually MICHELLE! It was after this haircut that Michelle developed the tough skin to handle a career in radio.

Michelle started her radio career as Terri Traffic at CMU. Since then, she’s been heard on both the East and West sides of the state

Hot Stuff! It is unclear how many engagements, marriages, and football teams Michelle has gone through… but it is obvious why they keep lining up.

BFF’s! It was both a “dream come true” and a “nightmare realized” for Michelle when her and Tony joined together in the mornings on 97LAV in 2011.

Good Little Eater. Michelle has been promoted to the Vice President in Charge of Food here at Cumulus Grand Rapids.

…But has been banned from all eating competitions in the area, due to aggressive behavior.

The Beautiful Michelle…She also LOVES Madonna

She’s a Heartbreaker

She has mastered the art of the selfie… Example #1
