Tom Peake is celebrating his 37th year with Oldies KOOL-FM in Phoenix. Peake can currently be heard weekdays from 10am to 3pm. "Tom Peake is a consummate professional and earns his right to help lead 94.5 KOOL FM every day," said CBS Radio/Phoenix VP/Programming Tim Richards. "His positivity and enthusiasm is contagious and it is an honor to work with him."

"I honestly don't know where the time went," added Peake. "Looking back over the last 37 years, I think I've been the luckiest person in radio to have spent it all at such a legendary station as 94.5 KOOL FM."

Peake's history with KOOL-FM began on September 1, 1979 as a weekend host. He became the Production Director in the early 80's and was promoted to evening host in 1981. Peake's most recent experience includes holding the Music Director position (1985-today) and midday host position on KOOL. Peake's other previous experience on KOOL includes the morning and afternoon host as well as the Program Director in the early 90's.
