Litter Media is pleased to announce the addition of local radio legend Mike Smith to its staff.

The move reunites Smith and Litter Media host Dan Ramey. The two teamed as “Dan & Mike in the Morning” for more than two decades on Chillicothe’s WBEX.

“Since Litter Media was launched in 2017, we’ve been committed to building a video library featuring Central and Southern Ohio” said Ramey. “Mike brings a great deal of credibility and talent which will enhance the content we’ve worked to provide to our viewers on our multiple platforms. I’m looking forward to teaming with my longtime broadcast partner again.”

Smith began his broadcasting career in 1978. He joined WBEX and WKKJ (then WBEX-FM) in 1981 as a news anchor and sportscaster where his name became synonymous with the Scioto Valley Conference and sports fans across Southeast Ohio.Smith has been recognized as the Ohio Sportscaster of the Year by the Associated Press four times, is an inductee of the Zane Trace Tip-Off Classic Hall of Fame and has received numerous civic awards during his career.

Dan and Mike were first paired together in May of 1994 and would soon become familiar to a wide listening audience before the show ended its run in July of 2016.

Smith will be a guest with Ramey on #LitterMediaLIVE this Friday afternoon.

His final radio news and sportscasts will be January 21st. Smith will finish out his play-by-play commitment on WKKJ through the current high school basketball season.
