WKMG’s Frier helps front band for charity

Roger Simmons, September 13, 2007

Fox 35 singing weatherman Jim Van Fleet has some musical competition among O-Town anchors.

Simulcast — the Orlando band that features WKMG anchor Bob Frier and Mix 105.1 FM morning guy Scott McKenzie — makes its debut on Friday night at 9:30 at Dexter’s in Lake Mary. “The number one goal of Simulcast is to raise loads of money to help bring ‘music education and appreciation’ to the Children of the Orlando area,” according to the band’s MySpace page. One way of doing that is supporting the Steinway Society of Central Florida — one of Frier’s favorite charities.

Click below to check out Frier singing with the band.
