Believe WCFL = Chicago Federation of Labor.

You are absolutely right. Super CFL. Dick Biondi, Barney Pip, Mort Crowley, Gene Taylor & Sam Hale and later Larry Lujack.

CKLW was in Windsor Ontario, Canada. WXYZ, the home of The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet, also rocked with Lee Allen.

Thanks....
 

That's where I got confused...Komets with a "K"...not knights.

Thanks...

bump

On our SR Prom trip in 1962, a special pullman car train from our town in the south Chgo burbs to SIU (southern illinois univ, GO SALUKI'S) about a 200 mile trip each way, Dick Biondi was the onboard DJ.
When was the last time someone rented a train! Found out years later it was paid for by the owners of the local bowling alley who had a son and an employee daughter in our class.

Radio under my pillow nightly
 

WING 1410 AM Dayton OH. Gene (BY GOLLY) Barry, Steve Kirk

Whb
 

in Kansas City. ..... "Worlds Happiest Broadcasters"... they had a big signal, as my cousins in Iowa listened to them also. They were top 40 back then, now they are one of the top sports talk stations in America - albeit on a different frequency. I also used to listen to WLS Chicago after dark when their signal took over.:coolsmiley:

WKBW in Buffalo NY....listening to Danny Nevereth..saving up to buy "KB Classics" albums.....

Do you remember Johnny Dolan "rolling with Dolan?" Johnny is a real close friend of mine. He is now retired and living in Northern California. He is one of the nicest guys I know and was a big inspiration to me as we worked together in Iowa at KSO.

Do you remember Clint Beuhlman? He retired in 1975. I was asked to if I wanted to replace him on 'KB. ( I was at WFBL in Syracuse at the time) I declined because I could not have succeeded trying to follow in the footsteps of a legend.

I think I do...!
"KB" was a big station...still is. The TV part, Channel 7 is still big....although Tom Jolls is not Commander Tom anymore.....but thousands of kids awoke to Commander Tom daily, back when we had Black & White TV with 3 channels...

Don't mean to go off topic...back to Radio!

I seem to remember a WMCA as well .

``Wibidge`` WIBG out of Philadelphia

Sure I remember Johnny Dolan
 

I actually sang in a teen rock band and Dolan MC'd a "Battle of the Bands" that our band performed in. He treated me very nicely, didn't try to "big time" us. Dolan was the biggest thing in K.C. in the early 60s along with Phil Jay.

Like any business, we in the radio business tended to get tired of what we were doing day in and day out. I had the good fortune of being very successful in the business, but I became weary of the daily grind.

Johnny Dolan, NEVER displayed any lack of enthusiasm. I just loved to watch him from the next studio while he was on the air. Every day, it was just like he was doing it for the first time. He loved it. He would laugh, get up out of his chair and give happy hand gestures and arm pumps. To this day, I can hear him laughing at himself as he told, on the air, "The World's worst Two Part Jokes."

I've got to say, it actually brings a tear to my eye, the emotion with which I remember working with and knowing Johnny. He is alive and well, enjoying his retirement with his wife Jan. Are you ready for this, Johnny is actually a "Door Greeter" at Walmart. He says that he is the town joke repository. Everybody who comes into Walmart tells him a joke.

WLS (Chicago) = World's Largest Store (Sears)(In the 30's)

AM(not morning) radio
 

I know there,s a bunch of new yorkers out there ( i guess talk host hasn't figured out how to filter yankee fans), and i'm amazed nobody mentioned Joey Reynolds on WKBW. We could only hear it late at night in worcester, ma, but we didlisten almost every night.

During my "middle" years I too listened to WPDQ and WAPE in Jacksonville. While living in Connecticut it was WTIC (Bob Steele).

In my teen years it was WCSH and WGAN, Portland, Maine.

In The Villages, I'm too busy to listen to radio.

Mulligan,

I just don't understand how a Yankee fan got by the filter.

radio station
 

WGN from Chicago....from Howard Miller through Spike Odell

CKLW 800 am Windser Ontario Canada. Lived in Ohio

I grew up in Boston and on Cape Cod. Mostly I listened to WHDH, partly because they did baseball (Curt Gowdy), partly because that's what my mother had on most of the time. I remember especially Bob & Ray, who were locals 'way back then.

When I moved to St. Louis, there was, in any sane person's mind, only one AM station: KMOX. It is sadly not at all what it was in the sixties through the nineties, but it still dominates.

On the other hand, my real love was classical music. Available only on "Classical 99," KFUO-FM. Now, my only source of such music has reverted to HD Radio, and is really available only on-line, since my newly-acquired HD radio won't pick up either Gainesville/Inverness or Orlando. Bah!

SWR

WRAW Reading Pa

Sandy Beach on WKBW in Buffalo.

Early 60's CKLW Windsor, Ontario. Late 60's WMMS, Cleveland home of The Buzzard.

Growing up in northern VT I listened to them ALL at night. My favorites were WMEX (Arnie Ginsburg) and WBZ (Carl Desuze with music and news) in Boston, WKBW in Buffalo, WPTR (the tri-cities and the great Northeast), and the local favorite WDOT in Burlington VT. Oh yeah, WINS too and WABC. I miss those days...

Can anyone relate?
 

1020 KDKA for Pirate Baseball, 1410 KQV for Top 40, 1390 WMCK/WIXZ for the "Magic of the T.L. Sound" (Music for Young Lovers), 1590 WZUM "High... at the top of the dial" for R&B and 860 WAMO for the "stacks and stacks of wax" spun by that "Platter Pushin' Papa"... :bowdown: Porky (the Original Bossman) Chedwick (credited for being the inventor of "Oldies" radio)!

Does anyone out there know what the heck I am talking about?

Take a Mulligan!!!!
 

Hey Mulligan,

You need to take a mulligan and re-read posts from Yankee fans.

It's this World Champion Yankee Fan :MOJE_whot: who mentioned Joey Reynolds in the post below dated December 15th.

Anyone remember when Reynolds was fired from KBW, he nailed his shoes to the door with a note that read "Try and fill these, Baby!!!!"

Oops
 

Demonstrating the typical graciousness and flexibility of a Red Sox fan, I apologize for missing the Reynolds post. GO SOX!!!!!!!!
