Ed Hammers (M-F 5-8:30am and 4 - 7pm)
I have been doing traffic here in Phoenix since 1999. Some of the stations you may have heard me on include Channel 12 (KPNX) during the afternoon news program - 12 News First at Four, during the Howard Stern Show on 106.3 The Edge, Afternoons on The Edge with Steve Tingle (a.k.a. Clarissa Jenkins), The Bruce Kelly show mornings on KZZP and a variety of other stations. I am a guitarist and vocalist and enjoy recording in my home studio.
