Sorry to hear about the passing of Dave Michaels, former program director and PM drive jock at Oldies 102.5, WXLY in Charleston. I just read in "Inside Radio" that Dave -- who's been working in Dallas for ABC/Citadel's 24-hour classic hits satellite format since 2000 -- was done in by a long battle with cancer at the age of 60. (Dave's real last name was Youdelman.)
Dave hired me to do weekends/swing at WXLY in the late '90s where I worked until joining WTMA in early 2002. He was a great PD and an all-around good guy. He was the PD who brought Kain Cameron to Charleston. (Bill Shannon replaced him at WXLY.) Now he's in "Rock & Roll Heaven" with many of the artists he played on the radio. RIP Dave.
