Picozzi and The Horn

Picozzi and The Horn was a morning drive radio program in Hartford, Connecticut.
It aired from May 1986 until May 1997 on WHCN 105.9 FM.
It featured co-hosts Michael Picozzi and Gary Lee Horn.
It included rock music, news, contests, listener calls and featured running comedy bits. Among these were: The Marching Weathermen, GhandiMart, The Ground Hog, the Screamer and Stump Picozzi and The Horn. The Marching Weathermen would do the weather report in a call and repeat drill sergeant fashion, with requisite jokes. Every Monday morning they would play "Life Sucks, Then You Die" by The Fools.
Parties called Live Lunch Luaus were held on Hawaiian Shirt Fridays and broadcast live. Picozzi and The Horn were cited numerous times for charity work and community service.
A frequent call-in guest to the show in the 1980s was U.S. Senator and 2000 Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman who at the time was Attorney General of the State of Connecticut. Picozzi would often comment that Liberman was "that guy who sounds like Willie on Alf." This was a reference to the similarity between Lieberman's voice and that of Max Wright, who portrayed Willie Tanner on the NBC comedy series.
