Stu Turgel’s first experience behind the microphone came at WCMO-FM, his college radio station at Marietta College in Ohio where he majored in broadcast journalism. At WCMO-FM he was a disc jockey and a newscaster. He later studied broadcasting at the Northeast Broadcasting School in Boston under the guidance of iconic newsman Victor Best. He entered the Army during the Vietnam War and was trained at the Department of Defense Information School at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis where he graduated from the military broadcast journalism program. Stu was assigned to Johnston Island in the Pacific where he was the news director for the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service broadcasting news on both radio and television. After 45 years in nonprofit management and now retired Stu is thrilled to once again be behind the microphone as a broadcaster at Radio Phoenix where he hosts a weekly news magazine, THE PHOENIX FILE, on Tuesday's at 6:30pm.
