In a profession filled with self-promoters and hot take artists, Chris Parker has carved out a successful career on the radio by simply being himself. Contrived takes and scripted rants designed to generate more callers have never been a part of his repertoire. Over the past 22 years, the guy you hear on the radio is largely the same guy you’d meet down at a Sabres game.
The root of Parker’s success might be traced to a commonality with his listeners. Like most Buffalonians, he is a covert optimist who possesses a sure eye for bullshit. A love of family and an appreciation for cold beer at reasonable prices are embedded in his DNA.
