Razz to nights at WXTU

[radiophile]

From Radio and Records Street Talk:

Changes At WXTU: Night jock Kris Stevens moves up to afternoons at the Philadelphia Country station, replacing Cadillac Jack, who recently exited. Razz joins for nights from crosstown WMMR.

Bet no one saw that coming! Wonder if Razz will continue his work for Sirius rock channels.

Not the first progressive/album rock jock shared with a country station in Philadelphia. Johnny Craft was the first, one of the original WRCP 'Good Guys' in 1967, left for WMMR in its infancy and was MMR's morning jock for many years. Both were 'new' formats in Philadelphia at that time. Gene Shay of WMMR-WIOQ-WHYY hosted a Sunday morning folk-bluegrass show in the mid-1980's on XTU. Pam Mearly went from WYSP to WXTU. Juan Varlita was at WIOQ in the rock days and WUSL in their country format. Who am I missing?

There were a number of top 40 jocks who shared, also, starting with Alan Dean from WIBG to WRCP by way of WDVR, and urban to country to urban (Patti Jackson, known as Pat Jackson in the early country days of WXTU and a holdover from their brief 1983-4 urban format).
