Re: Interesting Radio Depatures

Thanks for your comments.  Though being a skilled full service AC host won't 
get you a job these days.  I first began to love radio listening to WGAN in 
the early 1980's.  Listening to people like Bruce Stevens, Bob Grady, Nick 
Senaca, Joe McMillian and Chuck Igo on WGAN showed me what radio should be 
like.  Fortunately, I got a chance to try my hand at full service AC before 
it disappeared.  I also got to work with four of the five people mentioned 
above and met Bruce Stevens a couple of years ago and enjoyed making him feel 
old by telling him that I listened to him when I was in junior high.  

As for talk radio, listening to WGAN these days, I think the kind of talk 
radio that I admired is going as well...

Chuck, you're making me feel old.

 i thought you'd hit your stride at the mighty 560 WGAN (for those who did 
not get to hear Dan, he really was a good full-service a/c person, and when 
it came time to switch gears to talk, he could do that effortlessly.) >>
