Roy Leonard

[Dan.Strassberg]

He was at WHDH prior to WNAC. I don't remember whether he went to CJAD
between WHDH and WNAC or whether Montreal was a detour on his way from
WNAC to WGN. I think it was the latter. At WHDH, he hosted the Two and
Eight Date, which ran from 2:00 to 4:00PM and 8:00 to 10:00PM daily.
The idea of having air personalities on a split schedule seemed to
originate at WNEW (AM), where first Martin Bloch and then Jerry
Marshall and Willam B Williams and others were on with the Make
Believe Ballroom from 10:00AM to noon and then 5:35 to 7:00 or 7:30PM.
I think WNEW GM Bernice Judis gets credit for that idea, which was
widely copied, though perhaps first copied at WHDH.
