ANNOUNCER JAY BOATMAN JOINS THE "MANY
MOODS" AS VINNIE'S NEW RIGHT HAND MAN
October 19, 2005
When the "Many Moods
of Vince Daniels" returns live on Saturday, October 22 at 4:00pm (PST),
the voice that opens the show with "TODAY on the Many Moods" is
unmistakenly that of Jay Boatman, because at the close of his billboard
of upcoming guests, he leaves you his calling card as he reminds you in
his melodious way "and ME, I'm your announcer, Jay Boatman."
Host Vince Daniels remembers that "in the past we would always open the
show with a drop-in that said 'previously on the Many Moods,' and
granted this show has a lot of history and tie-in's to the
present. Jay and I were in agreement that for this show to
be successful, we needed to always keep it going forward."
Daniels also knew that this was one way to showcase Boatman's true
talent. "The guy has got a million dollar voice," says the
host of a show that has had its fair share of struggles keeping a
co-host. Unlike what previous personalities like Mikey
Mondavi and Chuck Dickinson brought in terms of hosting and having an
equal position of prominance on The Many Moods, Boatman will be "the
voice" of the show. While he does not see Jay in a
traditional co-hosting role, this is not to say that he won't be heard
occassionally chiming in during various segments.
"Boatman is a stage name. Listeners might know him as Jason
Barquero who has appeared with me in the past doing political punditry
on the program." Indeed when Vinnie refers to him as his
"right-hand" man, you get a good idea why. "I like
that Jay is conservative in most of his views. I try to be
conservative-to moderate-to liberal if such a thing is possible.
It's nice to have someone who can be my conservative conscience.
As time goes on, I am looking for that one special co-host. I
want to bring a female into the fold who would be the opposite, liberal
in nature, and a likeable liberal at that. Somebody like a Nancy
Skinner out of Detroit. Whoever this person is, I believe that
she'll find us. Right now and for the immediate future, I
want everyone to get to know Jay. He's worth knowing."
If you've been to Dodgers Stadium, perhaps you've heard his golden
tones eminating over their P.A. system. Jay is a graduate of Cal
State University, Fullerton, where as recently as last year he earned
his B.A. in Speech Communications. Before that, he
began as a student of Cerritos College where he was one of the first
students to get radio station, W.P.M.D. off the ground when it debuted
in 1999. In 2000 he played music D.J. and host of the "Rich
and Jay Show" along with Rich Morgan. After doing several of the
spots and voice-overs that continue to play on the station, Boatman
went on to do numerous voice-overs for MediaOne Cable (now known as
Comcast Cable). He later enrolled at the prestigious Del
Mar Media Arts, in Irvine California where he completed 4 certificates
and is a Product/Graduate. In the 2 years since he
graduated, he has had many voice-over offers and performs occassional
on-camera commercial work.
Part of the reason Daniels tapped Boatman for the job is because
shortly, The Many Moods will be looking to sell advertising time on the
show. Vinnie needed a great voice for the spots.
Feel free to e-mail Jay anytime here.
