Pete Fornatale
Pete Fornatale was one of the architects of
Progressive Rock FM in the '60s. He has been a fixture on New York radio for four decades, starting his career at WFUV
in Nov. '63 as a Fordham undergraduate hosting "Campus Caravan," then moving on to WNEW-FM (in '69) and K-Rock
(in '89).
Pete hosts "Mixed Bag" on Saturdays from 5-8pm on WFUV,
which started as a Sunday morning program in late Dec. '82 on WNEW (and which got a fan letter the next week
from a then unknown singer-songwriter named Suzanne Vega).
He is the author of several books about media, pop culture and music,
including "The Rock Music Source Book," "Radio in the Television Age," The Story of Rock 'n' Roll" and
"All You Need Is Love." He was also the primary writer of "The Elvis Collection," a 600 trading
card series on the life of Elvis Presley.
Pete conceived, wrote and narrated the nationally syndicated radio feature
"Rock Calendar." He also wrote seven episodes of the MTV series "Rock Influences," and served
as consultant, writer and voice-over announcer for "Deja View," a series of specials distributed internationally
by All-American Television in 1984-1985. Pete co-hosted the 1991 HBO telecast of "Paul Simon Live
in Central Park," and has regularly served as expert guest commentator on PBS specials featuring The Bee
Gees, Bobby Darin, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas and The Papas, The Moody Blues, Roy
Orbison, Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor and The Weavers.
Pete has won The New York Council of Churches Award for Broadcast
Excellence in 1976, the coveted Armstrong Award for Excellence in Musical Programming in 1983, The
New York Folk Festival Special Folks Award in 1984, The World Folk Music Association Award for Making a Difference
in Broadcasting in 1992 and The New York AIR Award for Achievement in Radio in 1998. He is a Board
member of World Hunger Year, the organization co-founded by Harry Chapin, and has served
as co-anchor of annual Hungerthon broadcasts for many years.
