Staffers Attend
MAB Great Lakes Media Event

Every year, WBFH staffers attend the Michigan Association of Broadcasters (MAB) Great Lakes Broadcast & Sports Academy. It was established by the MAB and the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) to help students launch careers in media. The November 7 event allowed students from all over the State of Michigan who may be interested in a career in the media to connect with media professionals.

Not ones to shy away from the limelight, the Biff Staffers occupy the front row!

During the career fair, students are provided the opportunity to network with peers and learn from some of the industry’s leading talent in every aspect of media, from on-air talent and engineering managers to sales and programming executives and content producers.

Biff staffers not only attended, but also the adults! (left to right) Bloomfield Hills Schools Director of Instructional Technology David Shulkin, WBFH Station Advisor Danielle Tier and Daniel Roleston, parent of staffer Olivia Roleston, take time to pose a few minutes before the event begins.

Ed Borus
(Lahser ‘83)
1965—2024

We share sad news as we learn Biffer Ed Borus passed away October 30 at the age of 59.

Ed (Lahser High School, ‘83), was one of the most enthusiastic WBFH staff members ever. His dedication to the station was infectious as he motivated others to do their best, both on the air and off.

The pinnacle of his participation on staff was being named chairperson for the WBFH Spring Concert held in April 1983, as a fundraising event for the March of Dimes and their mission to fight birth defects.

Ed founded the band, The Tunz, which was the opening act. It was something to behold! Ed, with his Pete Townshend-inspired stage antics was the lead vocalist and primary guitarist. The next band performing was The Crisco Band featuring Lahser English Teacher Bill Chrisman on lead guitar.

Ed kept in touch regularly with The Biff and attended Pete Bowers’ retirement celebration gathering on June 3, 2017 (photo).

Fun fact: Ed attended Michigan State University and he was Sparty, the school’s mascot. With his passion and zest for life, it’s not a surprise that he would be selected, easily executing the required one-handed push-up, a Sparty trademark.

General Manager Emeritus and Alumni Director
