Tommy Smith (DJ)
American DJ
Tommy Smith (born November 4, 1954), formerly known as “The Outlaw” and “TC Starr”, was a radio DJ in Little Rock, Arkansas. Tommy is most known for his first long-running morning show "The Rock ‘N’ Roll Breakfast" with co-host Big Dave at Magic 105 (105.1 FM), as well as his second long-running morning show "The Show With No Name" with co-host David Bazzel on KABZ 103.7 The Buzz. Smith is a 1972 graduate of Little Rock Central High School, and a veteran of the U.S. Army. Smith announced late in 2021 that he had developed the neuro-immune disorder myasthenia gravis. His final show was December 31 of that year. Fans still refer to Smith as "Outlaw”, and he is considered a legend in central Arkansas radio. Smith has been married for many years to his wife Karen.
Tommy currently hosts a weekly podcast with Big Dave and longtime sidekick, Danny-Joe Crofford. The Rock ‘N’ Roll Breakfast Uncensored Podcast can be heard on Spotify.
