Greg "Greggo" Williams is an American former radio personality. Williams was most recently co-host of the sports talk program RAGE (Richie and Greggo Extravaganza) with Richie Witt. It aired at 2pm-7pm on KRLD-FM, "The Fan" 105.3, in Dallas, Texas. Williams first became popular as 'The Hammer', Mike Rhyner's partner on KTCK's top-rated The Hardline drivetime show, but his tenure there ended abruptly in 2008 after 13 years on the air.

Robert Gregory Williams was born in 1960 to parents "Junior" and Patsy Williams. Greg was a "service brat" living overseas until he was 13. He attending Boyd High School in Boyd, Texas, and graduated in 1978. He has two younger sisters, Ronna and Patti, and had a younger brother, Ron. In 1982 his only son Derek was born in Fort Worth. After graduating from Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth, TX, he started his career in Dallas/Fort Worth radio at WBAP-820 as co-host and show producer of popular host/columnist Randy Galloway. In the early 1990s Williams hosted a public-access television show called Sports Perspective.

It was also in the early 1990s that he first partnered with Mike Rhyner, with whom "Greggo" would become well known in the DFW area as co-host of the local hit radio show The Hardline. Rhyner, once "sports guy" on KZEW's much-lauded The Morning Zoo with LaBella & Rody, launched all-sports station KTCK in 1994, taking Williams with him to co-anchor the all-important drivetime slot.

The show was an immediate hit, and remains a top-rated sports talk show in its market still. Williams and Rhyner won a national acclaimed Marconi award from their efforts. Greggo was recognized as a top ten radio sports personality in the Nation, and the Hardline was constantly #1 in Arbitron ratings Men 25-54 demographic. Williams talents helped award the Hardline the #1 slot in DFW Arbitron ratings (men 25-52 demographic) for a decade. However, William's battle with cocaine addiction by mid-2007 led to his very sudden departure from the show (often described as "mid-syllable").
