Mandy grew up in Hammond, Indiana and moved around Lake County before settling in LaPorte in her dream log home in 2015.


She lives with her husband and two dogs (who you’ll probably hear about every so often on air).


When not at radio station, she enjoys spending time with friends & family, seeing, acting, directing, or costuming local theatre, and listening to pop culture podcasts.



Her hobbies & interests include embroidery (sometimes even without curse words!) and travel.


One of the many interesting things about Mandy is that she trained with and had a voice over reel produced by JoBe Cerny of Cerny American Creative, who is best known as the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Mandy has appeared in several Mardi Gras Parades in New Orleans as a variety of different sci-fi/’nerdy’ characters.

Rowdy Yates is a second-generation broadcaster, born in Texas and raised in some of the greatest radio stations ever. Son of legendary news journalist and frequent Paul Harvey substitute, Joe Holstead, Rowdy’s radio travels have taken him to garden spots such as Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Houston, Tulsa, and Dallas; with stops in “B-towns” including Bryan, Bridgeport, and Brady. He began his career at the age of 15, running the church tapes at Denton’s KDNT, near his hometown of Ft. Worth. [His Mom had to drive him to work every Sunday morning.]

Yates’ resume reads like a who’s-who of impressive radio stations where he has served primarily as air personality, but over the years has applied his talents to web design, social networking, promotions, marketing, programming and operations.

Today, we're honored to have Rowdy as a part of the airstaff at 96.7 The Eagle. He can be heard at various times throughout the week on 96.7 The Eagle. He will start your day as host of the Midnight to 5a shift (Monday - Saturday), he keeps you company while you work weekdays from 10a to 2p, and will entertain you while you're out and about on Saturday afternoon from 2p to 7p.

I was about 7 years old when my parents bought me a microphone for Christmas and I’ve been hooked ever since. That little microphone has introduced me to countless stage announcements, celebrities and my significant other, Justine.

Working out and riding my Vespa are 2 of my top 3 things I like to do. My 3rd favorite thing to do is enjoy a slice of pizza! Thin or deep dish, if it has crust and cheese, I’m happy!

Thanks for tuning in,
Greg Tanner
