This story appears in the April 2021 issue of Town&Gown.
It’s a little after 7 a.m. on a Monday inside a small radio studio in Happy Valley. The voice behind the mic is familiar.
If you listen to classic rock, have gone to a Penn State basketball game, a State College Spikes baseball game, or just about any charity event in State College, you know the voice.
“… on 99.5 DAAAAAAA BUS,” says DJ Jeff Brown, the legend who has been filling the State College airwaves for decades.
Brown sits behind the mic, Mountain Dew by his side. He is clad in blue jeans, sneakers, and a Penn State pullover. If there’s a perfect voice for radio, Brown has it. The truth is that he could be broadcasting anywhere – so Centre County is lucky to have him.

An Erie County judge has approved a settlement of
$10 million to the estate of a former Altoona woman who was murdered by her husband in March 2018.
The victim, Amanda Elizabeth Schmitt, 31, a school teacher, was married to John Grazioli of Erie for only six months, when on the morning of March 8, 2018, he took a handgun and shot his wife while she was in bed.
She died instantly of a head wound.
Grazioli, then 44, left a suicide note at the scene of the killing that read, “I killed Amanda Schmitt Grazioli. I killed myself. I am profoundly sorry.”
But he did not kill himself.
