Tim Riley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tim Riley is a Northwest media personality from Portland, Oregon. He was a newsman at Hot Talk 1080 KOTK and is a regular member of the Rick Emerson Show. Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, Riley got involved with a local radio station and began a career that took him to California. In the late nineties, he was fired from a job in California and moved to Portland in 1998, where he was soon paired with Emerson. He can now be heard on KCMD-AM 970 "Solid State Radio," in Portland.
Tim is also seen on television hosting "The Classroom Guide To A Better America," a side-splitting assortment of social hygiene films originally shown to the Baby Boomers during their formative years. These programs continued to attract the same niche audience who listened to the daytime program to the late night hours of On Demand Television.
2006 also marked the premiere of Tim's television show "The Classroom Guide To A Better America," a selection of social hygiene films of the 40's and 50's that attracted a cult following especially among late night cable viewers.
