Luke McCoy

Luke McCoy is a talk show host for the WCOA radio station. He hosts the morning news program with Don Parker and, until May 18, 2007, hosted the "Pensacola Speaks" call-in show. He is married to Katherine Ann Felton-McCoy, an account executive with Cumulus Broadcasting, WCOA's parent company.

McCoy served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and with the Marine Corps in Vietnam, where he was wounded in action.[1] He and callers frequently exchange the Marines greeting, "Semper Fi."

Known for his outspoken conservative views, McCoy describes himself as "the common man's intellectual." In 2006, he founded the organization WASPO in opposition to illegal immigration. He strongly opposed the Community Maritime Park project.

McCoy offered no explanation for his departure from "Pensacola Speaks" except to say, "I've made some powerful enemies, and I thought it best for the station and all concerned that I step aside."[2]
