Tim Riley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tim Riley is a Northwest media personality in 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, an amusing assortment of social hygiene films originally shown to 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.
