Former WUBE PD Mike Chapman has died

I only worked for him for 10 months, but what a presence! He had a massive heart attack about 3 years ago.

Allen Matthews took over from Mike. Closson was after that.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by JeffDavis98 on 09/10/05 06:26 PM.</FONT></P>

Don't know about that, but I do remember that Allen was the one who changed the moniker to B105. They had previously used the WUBE calls. Allen was a great guy, btw.
 
You might be thinking of 105.9 WBFB. I believe both Larry B and Allen Matthews worked there after leaving WUBE. I don't think Larry B was ever at 96.5 although Allen may have worked there. Larry B currently does mornings at 106.5 WNKR in Dry Ridge KY

Yes, but how does this information impact the current CHR war in Dayton?
