About Me:

In 1982, Harold's broadcasting talents were discovered by Marv Dyson, who hired him at Chicago’s WGCI radio as the producer and co-host of the powerhouse morning show, first with Bob Wall (as the only Black-White morning duo in a major market), then with Doug Banks, where Rush created the “Front Page” segment, which has been copied in morning shows across the country. In the decade at the Gannett-owned company, Rush hosted broadcasts all over the U.S. and around the world, including London, Senegal, Jamaica and the Bahamas, hosting TV shows, adjunct teaching at Columbia College Chicago and speaking at high schools, universities and organizations throughout the Midwest.
After ten years in Atlanta, having expanded his broadcast horizons to include program management at WIGO radio and mastering emerging Internet technologies, Harold returned to Chicago in 2003 to take up marketing responsibilities for The Bronzeville Press’ release of ‘KINGS: The True Story of Chicago’s Policy Kings and Numbers Racketeers’, with publisher Nathan Thompson.
2005 brought Rush to WKKC FM, the official radio station of the City Colleges of Chicago as an On-Air Talent and Trainer for students in the Broadcast programs.
