Bob and Sheri is a syndicated U.S. radio program hosted by Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch. Its flagship radio station WLNK in Charlotte, North Carolina. The show is owned by Westwood One and runs live on over 40 nationwide affiliates, as well as worldwide in 177 countries and 150 ships at sea through the American Forces Network, from 6 to 10 AM ET.
Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch have co-hosted the show since 1992 when Bob, already established on WLNK's morning drive time show, chose Sheri as co-host from over 65 applicants.
Although the show is promoted as female-slanted, it has gained a share of male listeners as well, developing a loyal nationwide following. Bob and Sheri openly share their quirks and personal lives with listeners, creating an atmosphere. The program is structured as a traditional morning show rather than a morning zoo, and the show has no comedic bits which would offend the show's target audience or stations, nor are they based on stereotypes.
Bob Schlosser Lacey (Born Aug 30, 1949), raised in Old Lyme, Connecticut, began his career in radio at 19. After stints at various radio stations (and aliases of "Skippy Ross" and "Skip Tyler"), he was hired in 1971 by WBT in Charlotte to host his own evening phone-in show, "Lacey Listens." By 25, he'd been moved to morning-drive with his own talk show. During the 1980s, he was a host on then-sister station WBTV's local edition of PM Magazine, for which he traveled the world and won an Iris Award. Returning to radio at WBCY (now WLNK) in 1990, Bob was given his own morning drive show, joined by Sheri in 1992.[2] Bob has five children named Christopher, Landon, Ally, John and one other who has asked not to be spoken about on air. On July 31, 2010, Bob married his girlfriend of a year, Mary and gained two "bonus children." He enjoys golf, wine, lobster, Maine, pugs, vacationing, lighthouses, and the music of the Rolling Stones. On Tuesday, December 21, 2010, his 19-year-old son, John, died after suffering from history of seizures. Bob's son Christopher Schlosser died on February 22, 2012, at the age of 44. [3]
