Ray Richardson

Ray makes the sparks fly weekday mornings on WLOB's Fox Morning News. Ray is a very busy guy. When he is not waking up Maine everyday, he is writing newspaper columns that appear in many Maine newspapers.  He is also a former president of the Westbrook Chamber Of Commerce and he is a well-known grassroots political activist whose activities reach back a couple of decades in Florida and Maine. Ray has organized over 50 rallies throughout Maine. These rallies deal with important issues such as limited goverment, lower taxes and support of our troops. His roots are deep in greater Portland and Maine. He's been a small business owner for the past 18 years. He attended the University of Florida where he majored in Political Science. He and his lovely wife Dee Dee live with their 4 kids in a plush, but not overly pretentious home near Portland.

Ted Talbot

Ted makes things work in the WLOB Fox Morning News studio every weekday morning. When not going back and forth or arguing with Ray, he's constantly looking ahead lining up interviews and newsmakers to talk to. Before the program he's working with news ace JJ Jeffrey for the top-of-the hour local and state updates. He puts his skill in re-writing the hot stories that you have to hear in the morning. Ted brings 15 years experience in all facets of broadcasting. He has done news, commercial production, and for a couple of years hosted a music show on radio. Ted also spent a few years as a business analyst for direct marketing call centers in Portland. And he attended the University of Southern Maine. But as he says, "your education never stops".
