As the son of a preacher, his family moved a lot for his father’s work. Brinsley spent time in places like Colorado Springs, Cincinnati, and the small town of Ashland, Kentucky in northeastern Kentucky. The latter is where he spent most of his time growing up. Brinsley graduated from Boyd County high school in 1989.
Brinsley entered radio at age 15, on Christian AM station 1040 WOKT in Ashland. From there, he moved on to WWKU in Glasgow, Kentucky. The first top-50 station he worked for outside of Kentucky was in Memphis, for FM 100 Memphis. From there, he moved on to market number 19-Tampa. Shortly after, he went to New York City to work as a music director for Hot ACradio station Big 105, which is now Power 105.
After two years in New York, he got the offer to join up with former Memphis co-worker John Michael. In this new position, he travelled to Tucson to do mornings at alternative rock station KFMA. After two years of problems, Michael left in summer 2002, leaving Brinsley to do mornings with the other co-hosts. It became The Frank Show. Syndication later followed, to rock station KDOT, in Reno, Nevada. Ratings were good, and the show became popular among the target audience for alternative radio.
Brinsley is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. The church of St James was built in 1837-38 from Mansfield stone, the chancel being added in 1877. The village is split into two sections, Old Brinsley which is within Broxtowe and New Brinsley which is in Ashfield.
2007 Local Election
Brinsley elected Sadie Graham, a British National Party candidate in the 2007 Broxtowe council elections. However, she sat as an independent until she was dismissed for failing to attend meetings.
Brinsley Headstocks
Brinsley used to be a major mining village. The only remainder of this heritage are the headstocks. They are not only of significance for the area but are also the only headstocks left of this kind. After the final closure of Brinsley Pit they had been moved to a museum but have recently been restored and brought back to near their original place. The Friends of Brinsley Headstocks have worked on turning the area into a nature reserve. There are several farms in the area that have gone organic. The countryside is often explored by leisure walkers with walks organised by D.H. Lawrence Heritage.
