Guy Perry has returned home to afternoons on 97X after a 16 year absence. Guy was a Program Director and an On-Air Personality for 8 years in the Quad Cities, and only on ONE radio station… 97X. The Michigan native (and Michigan State alumnus) has made the Quad Cities his home for 24 years. Married to Debbie, and dad to Jennifer, Guy is also a licensed home inspector. He’s also a sports nut who credits his golf swing to his famous coach Captain Morgan! Guy says, “I came back ’cause I miss the interaction with a 97X listeners and I missed playing Classic Rock… there’s no more to the story really.” Join Guy for the ’5 O’clock Punch Out’ and make a request on your drive home Monday through Friday!
