Gary Teel

  Gary Teel parlayed a childhood dream into a 20-year career. However, he got out of the radio 

business when he decided that he should probably do something that made money, so he ran 

off and did other things for a while. But the radio bug never went away, and on April 30, 2016, 

his online 80s radio station, Wave 80, was unleashed upon the world. Gary's love of 80s pop 

music and his insatiable desire to know everything about it is what drives his station, and in 

2017, his show "Friday Night New Wave" took to the air. Since then, he has built a community 

of regular listeners and friends in the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Japan, Australia, the UK, New 

Zealand, Portugal, and more. He now spends his weekend nights taking requests and trying to 

maintain order in his chat box. Gary began a new radio station, ALT/80, in 2020, playing all 80s 

new wave music. In early 2021, he debuted his new show, The Excellent 80s Rewind, on radio 

stations around the world.
