'''Luke McCoy''' is a talk show host for the [[WCOA]] radio station. He hosts the morning news program with [[Don Parker]] and, until [[May 18]], [[2007]], hosted the "[[Pensacola Speaks]]" call-in show.

McCoy served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and with the Marine Corps in Vietnam, where he was wounded in action.<ref>[http://wcoapensacola.com/default.asp?pid=4444 WCOA Air Personalities]</ref> He and callers frequently exchange the Marines greeting, "Semper Fi."

Known for his outspoken conservative views, McCoy describes himself as "the common man's intellectual." In [[2006]], he founded the organization [[WASPO]] in opposition to illegal immigration. He strongly opposed the [[Community Maritime Park]] project.

McCoy offered no explanation for his departure from "Pensacola Speaks" except to say, "I've made some powerful enemies, and I thought it best for the station and all concerned that I step aside."<ref>"Luke McCoy signing off." ''Pensacola News Journal'', May 18, 2007.</ref>
