First Broadcasting/Bill Drake Rock & Rolldies?

I had heard that Lundy and Ingram would have split middays, but both drive times were to handled locally (preferably through the Superradio Directory of Recommended Talent). I don't remember hearing who might have been slated to fill nights and overnights. Larry Lujack and Dick Purtan were set for weekend slots (Lujack claimed he went to a press conference seem to recall the format was going to be Adult Contemporary. They likely didn't have major markets signed, but I'm aware of a few stations that signed on, one being WRMZ, Columbus OH.
I meant to say Lujack's only work for Superradio was attending a launch press conference, but he got paid for a year.
 
The ABC Superradio Operations Manual which includes scheduling:

Dan Ingram Superradio demo reel: Dan Ingram Super Radio Demo 1982 Scoped : Jon Wolfert : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Announced in March 1982; planned launch was July 4, 1982.

Thanks for both of those---I was looking at Superradio for a station I was programming at the time---but even before they pulled the plug, it struck me as sounding too much like WABC---which had just run up the white flag and had struggled for its final three years.
