BACCALAS ONLY

Joe Ranieli is the host of the very popular radio show, Bocci Alley, heard in many radio markets across the country. An award winning producer, Joe never planned on setting out to become one.

An entrepreneur, Joe Ranieli has made a career out of knowing what people want. In the auspices of Bocci Alley, it's just Joe!

"I took the nonsense, love, laughter, customs, and, of course, the music to the public. They liked it! It's that simple," Ranieli claims.

Not exactly! Never in his wildest dreams could Joe Ranieli realize the life of its own Bocci Alley has taken on.

After hundreds of shows, live appearances, broadcasts, tapings, ratings and a hell of a lot of fun, Bocci Alley has a cult-like following that breaks the generations gap, demands to be heard and touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands of listeners in several states.

Wow, not bad for a guy who was never on the radio before.

Radio the way it used to be and should be! Joe smiles and says modestly, "Who knew!"

In the fall of 2001 Bocci Alley hit the airwaves and radio has never been the same.

With its fresh approach to the past and its irreverence for today's lack of personality in radio, Bocci Alley soared to the top of the ratings and has never looked back. "It's all about the listeners," Joe Ranieli will tell you.

"We're high touch with them. We receive hundreds of phone calls and emails each week. We became interactive because they reached out. They set the format and I produce it." And produce it he does, right down to the last second.

The best songs of the last five decades by everyone from Sinatra to Bon Jovi.

The American experience is what intrigued Joe most of all, "We became our own version of people blending in the customs of other nationalities, Americana at its finest while holding on to traditions not even practiced any more."

Bocci Alley is America from the 1950's through today! Joe can't help but share the new tradition.

Coming to you on the "Baccala" radio network, Bocci Alley is truly the most Unique Radio Program on the dial!
