“The Humble but Truly Wonderful” Don Wade did mornings until 1979. He and his Roma now do the morning show at WLS Chicago.
“B. S. for the Great Northwest” – Bobby Simon was also at KTAC.
Robert O. Smith was the morning guy just before Don Wade (I think...) Someone e-mailed me a Robert O. aircheck which I hope to post later today.

Just a thought, when I started in radio in 1976, I was hearing then from some of the older guys that radio wasn’t fun anymore, that I was 5-10 years late to the party. No doubt about it, the radio landscape has changed, fewer jobs, more syndication and fewer entry level opportunities in smaller markets BUT if you are doing a show now, with the internet, it is so much easier to prep and create content. Even adjusted for inflation, if you prove yourself, you can make a lot of money now compared to 30 years ago.
I’m thinking we’re in a cycle, that local radio will make a comeback. For example, some PD or owner will take a look at the Ryan Seacrest midday show in their market (and Ryan is great BTW) and ask themselves how can I beat that show, how can I program against that and the answer will to be live and very local. I could be wrong of course, I never figured the Mariners to loose over 100 games last year, but I think this phase will cycle through...
