Charlie, harrigan and Big Jack Your Leeeeeeder

This goes back so long ago I am not sure it is even correct. Did these three appear at the same time on Cincinnati radio? Was that on WKYC? What years and who else was on that staff?

Did you mean Chuck(charlie) Dunaway? He was at WKYC

Jackson Armstrong was breifly at Cleveland's WKYC after being lured away from WIXY in 1967.

Yup--I had the right STATE wrong market. See below from the Cleveland board. Thanks to Johnny Morgan for this.

Yes, briefly.

"Radio 11" WKYC's long-time morning show (back to the KYW days) was (Harry) Martin and (Specs) Howard. They left sometime in 1967, and C&H came in, staying for a good year and 1/2.

Big Jack Armstrong came over from WIXY just about January of '67 and stayed through almost that full year. Which was fortituous, because shortly--like weeks--after Jack left, WKYC blew out the staff and bowed "Power Radio" which was a pseudo-Drake format helmed by Hal Moore.

The 1967 WKYC Radio 11 staff would have included Martin & Howard/Charlie & Harrigan, Bob Cole, Chuck Dann, Jay Lawrence, Jim LaBarbara, and Big Jack. (LaBarbara moved to WIXY when Jack Armstrong left for WKYC.)

The 1968 Power Radio staff included C&H, Chuck Dunaway, Fred Winston, Buddy Henderson (later Ed Mitchell at CKLW and Mark Elliott at KHJ--now the voice of the Disney movie trailers), Bill Winters (later at CKLW), Bobby Shannon, Lee Baby Simms, and Bob Cole stayed for a few months after the transition.
