Music has paid the bills for AC Stone from his college days at Shaw University’s WSHA-FM  in 1975 to his return to 97.1 QMG in 2010. In between the years, he’s held down airshifts at WDNC and G 105 in Durham, and has been a radio programmer and air personality at WDUR Durham, and at radio stations in Mobile, Alabama and Charleston, S.C. He was Regional Promotional Manager with Atlantic Records from 1988 - 1998,  then returned to his first love, radio at 97.1 QMG. He left the station in 2005 to program WQNC, WPZS and WGIV in Charlotte, and now he’s back home where he belongs.
