I heard former WDRC personality Dick McDonough today on Trinity College's WRTC 89.3. He was doing an afternoon jazz show and it sounded like he was having fun doing it. It was good to hear "The Prince" again. He doing afternoon drive on WDRC AM 1360 for a good part of his almost 10 years at the Big D. Every Friday afternoon I would race home to listen and copy down the new Big D Big Sound Survey hosted by Dick McDonough. I did meet him at a Bristol Central High School dance January or February of 1978. One topic of conversation was how everyone was now listening to 96 TICS instead of WDRC 1360. We both knew that WDRC's reign as "Hartford's Hit Music Authority" was coming to an end.

Dick McDonough on WRTC 89.3
- Thread starter newbritainradio
- Start date
Dick McDonough is one of the class acts in radio. As with some other area pros, commercial radio's loss is noncomm radio's gain. 88.9 WJMJ has been home to several radio vets for years. Bob Craig, one of Dick's contemporaries at WDRC in the early seventies and programmer of WWYZ's soft rock after that, also hosts a jazz show down in Philadelphia at Temple University Jazz station WRTI. I hope these types of stations continue to welcome regional air talent who are great resources in a field they love.
