How did I get on this web site?? I sometimes ask myself the same question I always
wanted to be in the entertainment industry everything about it excites me radio,film,tv. I
got my first start in radio at CBS Radio WVEE (V-103) the #1 radio station in Atlanta
and #7 in the overall market. I worked on the #1 afternoon show as assistant producer
after 6 months I decided to leave and make my own way in radio the path I was going
down at v-103 did not seem like the best one. While at v-103 I met my now businees
partner and friend corey king he was going through the same situation as i was. We came
together to start LARGE- FM.
I am father,husband,uncle & the eldest of 3. So when you here me speak its from
experiance. I don't claim to know it all but I know more then alot of people. I believe in
karma to the fullest and everything happens for a reason. Some of the people i look up to
in the industry are Bill mahr, chelsea lately,oprah winfrey,ryan seacrest,howard stern,
angie martinez, wendy williams just to name a few. With that I said I am here large fm is
here we want our piece of the cake! They didn't want give it to us so we gotta take it!
**Special thanks to my wife for standing by me our entire relationship & my daughter for
inspiring me to be smarter and funnier then she is. Special thanks to all of our friends and
business associates that supported large fm from the ground up!

2. Corey “Hack” King
Born: Jersey City New Jersey
Playground: Harlem, New York
Weapon: My Mouth- say what ever I feel.
Mentors:Russell Simmons, Mark Cuban, Howard Stern and
Osei The Dark Secret
About:Corey "HACK"King. Relocated from The big apple
to come and chase the Atlanta Dream of Real Estate. Once
things got crazy and my old hustles didn't work anymore I
came to a stand still and tried a new profession which was
The Broadcasting industry. Once Is announced that I was
making the transition to Broadcasting from real estate
investing many thought I was crazy and few believe In me.
Most of all I believed in myself and so did my strongest
piece of my support system which happens to be my mom.
I've always love to talk a lot of trash and entertain so I
finally put two and two together so that I would be able to
capitalize. Radio here I come.
My Radio Career:
Once I completed a trade school that focused on Broadcasting here in Atlanta, I started
off as an intern at CBS Radio-WVEE-V103 that would only last for ninety days. From
there I was offered a job as an board operator which allowed me to become a radio
personality within weeks. As time went on I felt like I've reached a glass ceiling at this
company and it was time to make a power move. I pitched several ideas to the program
directors but know one bit. I was introduce to a great person who was also experiencing
the same problems but in a different department. This person happens to be one of my
best friends,mentors,big brother and now my business partner Coori "Ferrari" Francis.
Coori and I had several meetings in reference to building a brand which we call
"LARGEFM". 2Guys, 1show,No Fear. This is always what we wanted and know one
would give us opportunity so we created one.
