Charles Dowdy spends his mornings on the Lake 94.7. His show is hyper-local, with interviews in the 8 a.m. hour each morning featuring local non-profits, civic groups and political leaders. He invites callers to play something called “Lake Loot” every hour. There’s also local news, weather and traffic, all geared toward the Northshore.
When he’s not on the air, Charles helps manage Northshore Media Group, a family owned broadcasting company with properties in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Charles and his wife, Bethany, have four children.
Charles also writes for EDGE of the Lake Magazine.
Beau Ryan
Beau Ryan is a local radio talent with a scary past. Literally!
Beau grew up in Baton Rouge and got his first taste of radio doing overnights for Clear Channel on WFMF 102.5. Then he moved to the dark side, doing television for NBC 33, Fox 44, and the CW 21. Shortly after the oil spill Beau was dispatched to to cover for a reporter on a story about the ghosts at a plantation in St. Francisville. His short puff piece ended up being a 30 minute special and suddenly Beau had a new job.
For eight seasons Beau directed and produced Haunted, a weekly show about the things that make us all lose sleep at night.
Fast forward to 2024, when Beau was ready to try something less scary, and jumped back into radio. He can be heard afternoons on Lake 94.7 and he also manages Northshore Media’s local production department.
Personally Beau likes reading comics, following the weather, and spending time with his significant other, Tino.
