Pete Cloutier

Pete Cloutier started on the radio in 1966 on WWSC-AM.  Pete’s career started with “Saturday Night a Go-Go,” the first rock & roll show in the tri-counties.  He took rock & roll, dedications, and requests for six hours every Saturday night.  Cloutier also brought the first rock & roll show to Glens Falls in ’66 with Gary Lewis & the Playboys.  Cloutier found his way into promotions with a very successful run of WWSC’s “Battle of the Bands” promotions to standing room crowds.  Cloutier left WWSC in ’83 but found his way back to radio in ’87, creating a new Saturday night show, “Great Gold Plus” on WAYI-FM.  Cloutier also made his debut in sales, capitalizing on his popularity from being on the air.  In ’89, Pete began producing more rock & roll shows.  He worked with the top names in the industry for a successful run of shows at the Glens Falls Civic Center and an almost 30-year run of “Summer Jam” shows.  Cloutier moved over to WKBE-FM for sales, promotions and the continuation of his Saturday night show in ’91.  In ’94, Cloutier was on the move again, this time for his last stop on WCKM-FM, once again with sales and promotions and also to take on the sidekick role on “The Morning Club,” which he still holds down today at the age of 81.
