Fields eventually went on to become Bob Barker's announcer on "The Price Is Right" in 2004.

"I'm extremely proud to welcome Rich to the Beasley family," said Program Director Ted Cannarozzi. "Rich's energy, both on and off the mic, is a perfect fit for Q105."

"I grew up listening to Q105," added Fields. "It's the radio station that inspired me to get into broadcasting. To be able to return home to where it all started for me is a blessing. I thank Beasley Media Group for their confidence in me and for the opportunity to liven up Tampa Bay radio."
