Jimmy Fink has been working in broadcasting for more than four decades….hosting shows on several major market radio stations, television networks, and production & advertising companies in the New York and Washington, DC metropolitan areas.

Over the years Jimmy has worked for ABC, CBS, and NBC, Rolling Stone Magazine, HBO, Cinemax, and syndicators like United Stations Radio Network, DIR Broadcasting and The Global Satellite Network. In the 80s & 90s, he spent 10 years at New York’s K-Rock (WXRK-FM), and wrote and produced several internationally syndicated radio programs including Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Continuous History of Rock & Roll,” “RockWatch,” and “New Waves” for NPR.

Jimmy’s a lifelong resident of Westchester County, New York, and dedicates a lot of energy to two specific charities: The Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Open Door Family Medical Centers, where he’s a past member of their Foundation Board.

Jimmy is currently doing afternoon drive on 107.1 The Peak/New York (WXPK-FM). He joined the station near its inception in June of 2004. After seeing a bus poster for a new radio station and listening for a half hour, he knew he had to work there. He calls 107.1 The Peak the most creative station with the broadest format any radio lover could want to work for.

Part one of four has Jimmy rewinding the moments when he was hired at the beginnings of two legendary New York City radio stations, WABC-FM which became 95.5 WPLJ and the NEW 92.3 KROCK (WXRK-FM). Jimmy also shares his greatest moments with musicians, including Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
