K-Rock - Nik Carter

Nik Carter ('kar-tur)
Weekdays 9AM-12PM

Nik Carter studied acting at NYU where he was practically expelled from the drama program for blowing off acting classes regularly to hang out at the radio station everyday. After years of doing the afternoon shift in Boston, mornings in Providence and a nationally syndicated show called "Nothing Sacred", he landed back here in NYC at 92.3 K-Rock.

When not on the air, Nik puts his acting degree to work doing voice overs for commercials. Recently he’s been the voice of a baseball with a bad Boston accent in a Sony PSP commercial, a talking suitcase, and a dancing pop tart. (Seriously, we couldn't make this stuff up!)
