Ben Magnet Contact Info:BenMagnet@audio8ball.com 8ballz in the Morning - weekdays 8-10am PT / 11-1p ET.

Exactly one year ago, a young man with ambition became a Intern for the show Shot of Rock on Audio8ball.com. Then a new station arose called MtRockRadio.com and this Intern made the move. After some time, the Intern became a DJ and that intern was known as Intern Ben, and now Intern Ben is grown up, and is now the legend known as Ben Magnet! This Mt.Rock First Class member has now come full circle and is the host of the morning show, 8Ballz in the Morning!

If listening to Rock and Roll from all time periods is what you love, then Ben Magnet is the guy to go to. He was raised on the music of The Beatles, AC/DC, Van Halen, The Who, Rolling Stones, and of course, Queen. His other passion is riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle that he got when he was 16! After his first ride to the Laughlin River Run, he was forever dubbed Magnet by his fellow riders. After he graduated high school, Ben and his dad took a 21 day road trip of a lifetime all across the country with one goal in mind, to ride Route 66 from start (Chicago) to finish (Santa Monica) on their Harley's. Another interesting little tid-bit about Ben Magnet is when he was 13 he was in a Mercedes-Benz commercial that aired during the Super Bowl (the one where Janet Jackson flashed the whole world)!

Even though Ben Magnet has grown from a Intern to the host of a morning show, he isn't stopping there. He's gunning to become a Award winning broadcaster, and, paraphrasing Queen he has just this to say, "DON'T STOP ME NOW!"

Botmaster 8-b Contact Info:botmaster8b@audio8ball.com When the human touch just isn't enough to get the job done, Botmaster 8-b is up for the task!

Thanks to advances in robotics, Botmaster 8-b can hold down on-air duties flawlessly, while keeping alloy-coated groupies out of the control room.

Anticipating this very application of the patented Botmaster technology, scientists were able to program 8-bot towards playing New Rock music and it's varients.

We at Audio8ball.com hope the fix scientists applied in the laboratory will work, at least until the warranty runs out. In the mean time, rest assured, when Botmaster 8-b is on the air, you can count on non-stop Rock from the 2000s of all kinds (and not much Epic Folk Metal)!


Cass Contact Info:cass@audio8ball.com Audio8ball.com Newsteam

She attributes being comfortable in front of large audiences and the ability to multitask to her many years in Show Choir and serving as president of a choir in high school. Cass’ initial encounter with Mt. SAC’s Radio and Television Program was entirely a happy accident.When the offer to be a newscaster for the morning radio shows fell into her lap, Cass was excited for a new and challenging opportunity.

Cass’ proudest achievement was in 2006 when she completed Kaiser Permanente’s Half Marathon in San Francisco and raised over two thousand dollars for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. While she’s pursuing her Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of LaVerne, Cass is simultaneously pursuing a Radio Broadcasting Degree at Mt. SAC.

DJ Bob Contact Info:djbob@audio8ball.com The Big Beat - Now on Thursdays on our sister starion, MtRockRadio.com @ 4:00 PM (PST).

Hey, welcome to audio8ball.com. Please allow me to take this time to familiarize all of you with myself. Hello! I'm Bob Vincent. I study Broadcasting at Mt. San Antonio College, where our lovely station is situated. I enjoy dinner by candle light, cuddling..............(needle scratch!!)............ WOAH! Not really.. Let's move on! I'm an Multiple Award-winning broadcaster with an undying passion for Rock and Roll, vinyl records, and The Beatles, which has been helpful in the development of THE BIG BEAT. THE BIG BEAT showcases the career-spanning music of The Beatles as well as their solo works, cover songs, and even their kids' and wives' music. The Beatles definitely speak for themselves, but in addition to the tunes I will also have in-studio guests ranging from Beatle-tribute acts to Beatlemaniacs like you and I.

I was born decades after The Beatles existed. As a young'n, I want to help bridge the generational gap between Rock and Roll fans. I also wish to further explore and understand The Beatles' universe by deeply immersing my heart and mind in The Beatles' music and the stories of those who were actually around to hear the latest Beatle record. I greatly look forward to sharing this timeless music with all of you!

So that's my deal. If you have any questions, concerns, requests, comments, or simply want to say "HI", feel more that free to drop me a line. Be sure to check out my Facebook profile(see below). Keep a lookout regularly. You never know what wacky thing I may post next.

Well thank you so much for your time. Enjoy the site, enjoy the show, and in the words of one of my favorite bands, Ghost Towne, "Don't listen to music, feel it!" From myself and everyone here at audio8ball.com, "KEEP THAT ROCK ROLLIN'!"

Dre Contact Info:drey@audio8ball.com 8ballz in the Morning - Weekdays at 8am PT / 11am ET.

I only introduce myself as Dre, which is a conversation starter because the first thing out of everyone’s mouth is “Dre, like the boy?” and the second question is “What is that short for?” I sometimes say it’s not short for anything (even though it is) it just takes too long to explain to some people. So Hi I’m Dre it is a pleasure to meet you! I am from a small town outside of Fresno, Ca. I did radio for about a year there before I moved to continue school and hopefully land a career. I never in a million years thought radio was something I would be doing with my life but after interning at a station at home I fell in love with it and still love it! I am also a crazy sports fanatic. My favorite sports are basketball and football however I try to keep up with as many other sports as I can. I am a goofy and blunt person, so hopefully you will appreciate that when you listen to our morning show! I will try to keep you on your toes at all times!


Greg Contact Info:greg@audio8ball.com Top of the Charts - Monday and Wednesday at 6pm PT / 9pm ET

Greg grew up in Rancho Cucamonga, attended a private school from Kindergarten to 8th grade, graduated in 2004 from Etiwanda High. He is currently pursuing his degree in broadcasting, one day hoping to be an Anchorman on his favorite local news station. His dream of working in the industry started when he was in 3rd grade. Watching the news he was inspired to want to inform people. His dream also has been to host his own TV talk show, or even have his own sitcom. One of his biggest passions is to stop child hood obesity, “It saddens me to see young children weigh more than me at the age they are, If I could I would like to create something to inform people about healthy eating no matter what class you are in society and how to do daily exercises with the things you have at home. One of the worst things they can do in school is feed the junk food and the poor processed food that they serve, and yes, I love the show “food revolution” it has inspired me and brought awareness of this.”

Greg is almost done here at Mt.SAC and is planning on transferring to CAL State LA. In his free time, he likes to just hang out with friends, go to the beach, shop till he drops or runs out of money, and just relax and watch trashy reality TV.

Kenny James Contact Info:kennyjames@audio8ball.com Cage Chat - Tuesday & Thursdays at 1pm PT / 4pm ET

Born and raised on a combination of classic rock and the grunge and alternative rock of the 90's, Kenny James lives to hear great Rock & Roll music, you know, back when the music still had some edge and a soul(before it became formulaic because of things like autotune). Kenny can often be found going to bars or clubs to listen to bands that are a throwback to the styles and eras of music that he loves. When he's not listening to music, Kenny is either working out, or watching sports which can vary depending on the time of year; ie. football in the fall, baseball in the spring, hockey in the winter, but most of all he makes sure to do everything in his power not to miss a single mixed martial arts event. On the rare ocassion where he isn't doing any of the above in his free time, Kenny can often be found getting into debates over who the greatest bands of all time are, talking about football, or contemplating what songs fighters should walk out to during their entrances.

Kenny’s hobbies include: going to concerts, playing video games (Street Fighter and anything made by Bioware being his favorites) watching and discussing mixed martial arts, and staying up way too late watching corny movies that are so bad that they’re hilarious.

Producer Gotham Contact Info:gotham@audio8ball.com 8ballz in the Morning - Weekdays at 8am PT / 11am ET

So you wanna know how I got to be on Mt. Rock? Well it all started… I’m just kidding; I am not going to really create some Joker themed Bio. I grew up always having a love for movies, My parents took me to see Batman Returns in theaters and ever since then I’ve pretty much been a big fan of Batman and wanted to be in movies as Robin, I was little and didn’t know any better, cut me some slack. As I got older and learned the difference between a good movie and a bad movie, I decided that I wanted to try and make my own movies. Hopefully they are perceived as good by someone other then me and my mom. I have been attending Mt SAC for the film side of things but recently I have become interested in the radio side of things as well. I am hoping to be able to hone my skills in radio and extend my repertoire in the media industry as well as provide Mt. Rock with the entertainment and music that puts a smile on your face.


Sergio Alexander Contact Info:sergio@audio8ball.com Verbal Headlock - Monday & Wednesdays @ 1pm PT / 4pm ET

No one really knows where Sergio actually came from. Some say he's a world famous disc jockey, others say he's a crazy man demanding to be on the radio, others say he's an alter ego of a deranged college student. All that is certain is his love, respect and passion for great music. He is known to obsess over Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and The Beatles. Which brings us to the present time, where he has been given the opportunity to spread his favorite music through the radio station, 90.1 MtRock. Anything questions can be sent to his inbox, where he will read over and think of replying back.

He is known to be a bit of a hot head as he is a former mixed martial artist and professional wrestler, but we still like him.

Teberina Johns Contact Info:terberina@audio8ball.com Raise the Praise - Fridays at 11am PT / 2pm ET.

I'm a very helpful person and I love to encourage others or put a smile on people's face when they are feeling down! I have been born and raised in the church, and my dad is the Pastor of my church Greater New Faith Ministries in Pomona, thus making me a P.K (Pastor's kid as well as Police Officer's Kid)! That's right folks, my dad is both a Police Officer and a Pastor, don't ask me how? lol...But anywho I've been raised in a very respectful kind of household, so its very rarely you will ever catch me being rude to anybody (it depends who you are though...lol!) I feel like I was born to be a leader just because I have held so many leadership positions in my 21 years of living!

I absolutely love Gospel/Christian music! I'm totally down for anything that lifts up the name of Jesus and has a positive message! My show Raize the Praise isn't all about just being "churchy", but its about showing the young people that being saved is cool and FUN...through the use of Gospel/Christian & Inspirational music, motivational quotes and scriptures, as well as news, tips, and some pet peeves regarding the church (lol)!!! So continue to Raize your voice, and let your Praize be heard with your girl TeberinaJ, as we have a JESUS PARTAAAAAYYYY!!! HEEEEY HEEEYYYYYYY... ;-D


Tim Torrance Contact Info:TimTorrance@audio8ball.com The Time Warp - every Tuesday and Thursday at 11am PT/ 1pm ET.

As a kid, I spent a lot of time watching TV. On any given day I'd watch cartoons like Scooby or Smurfs...or shows that my older brothers or sisters got me into like Bionic Woman or CHIP. I did do other things like go to school, and every now and then read a book...but the TV was my first love. It's not like anything on TV can give you heartache...right!"

Just about every adult says, "TOO MUCH TV IS GOING TO ROT YOUR BRAIN." WRONG! If you don't do much aside from watching TV...like exercise...then try to do everything in moderation. As an aspiring voice-over artist in animation, hearing all these different characters i.e. Scooby, Boris Karloff, Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood...just to name a few...has given me a chance to work on trying to capture the essence of these characters.

I didn't admit until after graduating from high school that my favorite music was from the fifties and early sixties. It was Elvis, Ritchie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and many others singing anything from Are You Lonesome Tonight, La Bamba, to Great Balls of Fire and other great songs that changed music FOREVER! On the Time Warp, my focus is to bring back the sock-hop ambience, listening to all the great music at the local diner with your date...waiting for just the right slow song. If you wanted something a bit fast like Blue Suede Shoes, all you had to do was just find it on the jukebox and enjoy. Go back to those innocent times when you met your first love getting a little help from that great song on the Wurlitzer 950...only this time...on the Time Warp with me...Tim Torrance.

I'm back! After a semester away from the mic, I realized how much I missed it. I need the world to know how I feel about movies (and games, and books, and everything else but I digress). I love all types of movies, but anything supernatural or horror-related gets a few extra points from me. DJ Bob and I will be bring the latest movie news to you twice every week, and trust me when I say it's something you want to tune into!
