Chris Dimino

Nick Cellini

After more than two decades in the broadcasting industry, Steak Shapiro is sipping the sweet wine of success. As co-founder of Sports Radio 790 The Zone, Steak has been instrumental in the local and national recognition of the station. When people think of the station, the first name that automatically comes to mind is Steak. In addition, he is the co-host of Mayhem in the A.M., Atlanta’s favorite sports talk morning show for men, alongside Nick Cellini and Chris Dimino from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M.

His love of sports and his gift of gab have earned him three A.I.R. awards for Best Talk Show Host in Atlanta and four prestigious Gabby awards as the Personality of the Year in the state of Georgia.

His love of the broadcast business is only matched by his love of food. When asked about his hobbies, Steak proclaims, "dining, travel, working out and dining out again."

From over a decade of hosting sports talk in Atlanta, Chris Dimino has become one of the city’s most trusted and well-liked personalities. Dimino has become one of the most visible personalities in Atlanta. He has regular stints on Comcast Sports Southeast, and is a Falcons analyst for WGCL CBS Atlanta. In addition, Dimino’s baseball knowledge has become legendary. His show prep includes the printing of dozens of papers and articles from around the country, making him the most prepared radio host in the city and also responsible for the destruction of numerous forests throughout the southeast.

Nick Cellini is the straw that stirs the hottest morning show in Atlanta radio, Mayhem in the A.M. His razor-sharp sense of humor and impressive interviewing talents has earned him a number of awards for excellence in Atlanta radio. His history in sports broadcasting is equally as impressive, getting his start as one the youngest sports anchors in Cleveland, Ohio television history. As one of Atlanta’s most popular personalities, Nick can be seen on Sports Nite on Comcast Sports Southeast and WGCL CBS Atlanta for Falcons’ coverage. His dream to play center for the Cleveland Browns has been modified to now "just wanting to get a good nap."

Mike Bell

David Archer

Hans Heiserer

Mike Bell Lights up the airwaves as Atlanta’s most entertaining afternoon guy. His knowledge of sports, hilarious bits, and impersonations has helped Bell win numerous radio awards including the Air Award for "Best Talk Show Host in Atlanta."

Mike’s diverse talents have translated into numerous media opportunities. He has served as an anchor, reporter, and NASCAR expert for Fox Sports Net South.

Bell, though still a young guy, is a true radio veteran. He has spun records and entertained listeners everywhere from Bloomfield, West Virginia, to Miami, Florida, and is one of the few guys in the business that can proudly say, "I’ve never been fired." Bell is currently living it up in Atlanta as The Zone’s ultimate single guy, and is just thrilled to be in a town where the women clearly outnumber the dudes.

Archer played for the Sacramento Surge of the WLAF in 1992, throwing for 2,964 yards (NFL Europa single season record) and leading them to a World Bowl championship, where he was named game MVP. In 1993 he headed to the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the Sacramento Gold Miners (part of the league's United States expansion) where in 1993 he threw for 6,023 yards, still the fourth most in any CFL season (Doug Flutie of the Calgary Stampeders threw for even more yards that year.) He threw for 3,340 yards for Sacramento in 1994. He played with the San Antonio Texans in 1995, and the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1996. After the Rough Riders folded, he was drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the dispersal draft. He decided to not play in Saskatchewan as the contract offer was too low and retired instead. He spent the 1997 season as a CFL television analyst and returned to the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos in 1998. His final game was the Western Final playoff game against the Calgary Stampeders with Jeff Garcia at quarterback. Calgary won and went on to win the Grey Cup. Archer retired after that game and is now the color analyst for the Atlanta Falcons and SEC college football.

In his five seasons in the CFL he completed 1,388 of 2,434 passes (57%) for 20,671 yards with 71 interceptions and 120 touchdown passes.

Like Chief Noc-A-Homa and Wille B before him, Atlanta has always been home to Hans Heiserer. Hans uses an entertaining blend of quick wit and local wisdom to passionately express his point. Five years in the biz and self-proclaimed "man of the people", Hans brings that welcome-ness onto your dial whenever he's on air. Not afraid to use words like - us, them, we, or they - his affinity for his hometown teams gives locals a, "We're all in this together" perspective. He can also be heard Sunday at 10am with the legendary Beau Bock.
