I remember producing the doo-wop show for Gus D. Oldie.....

There are no jocks. Debbie moved to AL, so don't look for her to come back. Right now I think it is just music.

Yeah, I was listening on Saturday, and they've borrowed a trick from when Oldies was own by Clark Broadcasting...getting voice imager Jim Merkel to cut a ton of generic breaks and intros ("here's the Supremes!"), and just making him one of the "jocks"! Hilarious.

I miss Ed Fairbanks and Nancy Brooks. Lotta fun working with them.

Jeff Laurence here..I'm the voice guy at GCO..really like those folks!

Ed Fairbanks? Where is he now? We worked together at WDAE in Tampa and WSUN for awhile. GREAT guy and never a smoother air talent born!

WGCO Went to Jack because Jack was "the thing" then. Oldies Stations all over the country were getting Jacked a monkey see monkey do thing.

I didn't see this!

That's a good description of how Jack stations are programmed.

For more on how that relates to my name, see the WLOW thread on this board.
