Bob and Sheri openly share their quirks and personal lives with listeners, creating an atmosphere.

After stints at various radio stations (and aliases of "Skippy Ross" and "Skip Tyler"), he was hired in 1971 by WBT in Charlotte to host his own evening phone-in show, "Lacey Listens."

During the 1980s, he was a host on then-sister station WBTV's local edition of PM Magazine, for which he traveled the world and won an Iris Award.

Returning to radio at WBT-FM (now WLNK) in 1990, Bob was given his own morning drive show, joined by Sheri in 1992.

[2] Bob has five children named Christopher, Landon, Ally, John and one other who has asked not to be spoken about on air.

He enjoys golf, wine, lobster, Maine, pugs, vacationing, lighthouses, and the music of the Rolling Stones.

[3] Sheri Lynch grew up in Wyoming and Philadelphia, surviving a harrowing, dysfunctional childhood to which she occasionally refers on-air.

She has worked in television and movies but created her own niche in radio when joining the Bob & Sheri Show as an outspoken and articulate partner (not a female sidekick to a male host) in 1992.

Sheri recently graduated from Winthrop University with a master's degree in Social Work, focus on clinical mental health.

"Super Todd" Haller, the show's former producer, screens all the callers and also appears on the air occasionally.

As The People's Movie Critic, Lamar Richardson gives a weekly film review on the show, usually on Friday.

Ratings range from "Zero Buds" to "A full six-pack of Budweiser," though a terrific movie might earn a twelve-pack, and a terrible one may receive a "Warm Zima."

[11] These occasionally confuse new callers, but regular listeners are familiar with these: After 10 years hosting "PM Magazine" on WBTV, Bob Lacey returned to Charlotte morning radio in December 1989 on what was then WBCY.

[12] By the time Lacey persuaded his company to hire WBTV marketing employee Sheri Lynch to join him, the station was WBT-FM "Sunny 107.9."

Local management did not like the idea of "Bob and Sheri," so Lacey contacted the Atlanta headquarters of Jefferson-Pilot Communications, and he put up $10,000 of his own money in case the show did not work.

[17] By 2003, the show was on 63 stations, with markets that included Presque Isle, Maine, Santa Rosa, California, Yuma, Arizona and Eugene, Oregon.

[19] After Radio One purchased flagship station WLNK in November 2020, the company decided to drop Bob and Sheri in April 2021.
