Steve Wolf's Bio

Wolf's love affair with radio began at the tender age of 14 when he began spinning records for a small town station in his home state of Michigan. After a move south, Wolf became a D.J. and engineer for a number of radio stations in South Texas where he discovered his passion for the technical side of broadcasting, repairing and installing broadcast equipment.

At 19, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to put his own radio station on the air. He recalls, "My dream was always to own my own radio station." After negotiations with the local cable company, he put a cable FM station on the air called The WOLF. The WOLF featured 70s and 80s top 40 music and additional specialty programming. The station had a successful four year run before Wolf moved to Nashville, Tennessee to take a job at a larger station.

It was during this time that Wolf's life radically changed. He was losing his vision as a result of a childhood accident and as his sight began to fail. Wolf was unable to continue his engineering work in radio, however, he quickly learned to read Braille, to travel independently with the use of a Seeing Eye(R) dog, and most importantly to use a computer with adaptive technology. As he learned to master the new technology, he began training other blind people to use computers, a job he found both rewarding and enjoyable.

In the winter of 1998, Wolf discovered Shoutcast technology and was able to revive his original passion and return to his profession as a broadcaster. With the aid of his talking computer, Wolf downloaded the Shoutcast server software and learned how to broadcast directly from his computer.

With the means to broadcast again, The WOLF was quickly resurrected. On January 18, 1999 The WOLF came back online with a growl!  The WOLF is now able to provide its music to millions each month and plans to support itself through advertising. Now reaching a global audience on the Internet, The WOLF and its popular web site WOLFFM.com have grown from a pup into a ferocious animal.

WOLF FM is housed in the Wolf Studios located in the 20th and Grand HighRise in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The studio is also capable of producing live shows and other production work.
