Paul O'Neil, one half of the Morning Buzz!

"Hey there, thanks for poking around on our new Website!  Here’s some facts about me, I spent much of my younger years in Trochu, went to Calgary Academy for high school.  After that was done, my plan was to join the railroads, I wanted to be a conductor or a locomotive engineer.  Trust me; I drove my parents crazy with this dream.  I worked with a tourist railway in Stettler and was fully set on getting my “B Card” to become a conductor.  But as that dream was about to take flight, my second interest became more apparent...radio broadcasting.

A year at Lethbridge College paved the way for my first on air job, at the now defunct 1090 CHEC.  My radio career started in 1991, and I’ve lived in many places following my career aspirations.  I’ve worked all over the map, in places like Medicine Hat, Red Deer, where I joined Radio 7 CKRD as overnight host, then off to Calgary, Moncton, Wainwright-Lloydminster, Regina and I’ve just made the move back here to Red Deer to work with BIG 105.

Here is more about me; I am a dual US/Canadian citizen – I have family on both sides of the line.  My Alberta family includes two brothers who live in Calgary (I’m the oldest).  My parents have retired and live in Cochrane.  I’m lucky to still have two grandmothers and I’m very lucky and happy to live close to my daughter, Taylor who lives in Edmonton.

I’m passionate about music, history and life!
