The original WARM transmitter

They have the original transmitter...they just need the original ground system.
They should wish for Charlie Morgan for Christmas.
 
I would wish for:

1. WARM-AM and the money to run it (Everyone wants to own a station, nobody ever plans where the money is gonna come from!)

2. A Dennis O'Connor Action figure with auto blush feature!

3. Any bathroom at least 10 miles away from Captain Happy! (musta had a woodchuck this morning!)

4. A station that gradually mixes in Christmas Music SLOWLY!

5. Hey Paisani!...A JoJo Ranelli karaoke machine! (Never mind! I found one in the alley!)
 
I would wish for:

1. An actual all-news radio station in NEPA. None of this talk BS.

2. A GE Superadio, so I can pick up all the great news stations out there, like WINS, WBBM, WBZ, etc.

3. A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 454.

I think I may be getting number two for Christmas. :)

But definitely not number three. :(
 
> 2. The original WYZZ transmitter

It's gone...It was at 93-7, but it's gone now. What a BEAST that was, especially the night we got hit by lightening. Smoked terribly, but still kept the station on the air.

My list

1) An unedited Jim Ward blooper reel
2) Days when radio was fun and I didn't need money to survive (cause they didn't pay too well-lost a lot of weight back then)
3) Under the table talent fees and unlimited bar tabs
4)To bring back the magic of radio, when people actually thought it was cool you worked some where on the dial.
5) Peace on Earth, Good will to men and a '78 International Scout with a 345 and no rust!

Call Buzz Boback at AutoWorks International in Dallas. He can get you #3 as long as you've got a wheelbarrow full of cabbage to pay for it!
 
I wish Matt (Dylan) Purvinis was still alive to hire hot
Nicaraguan chicks who show up at work in see through dresses!

I never had the pleasure of the company of the hot chicks
in the see through dresses but I did have the pleasure of
working briefly with Matt. Wonderful guy, gone too soon.

So if you had presents under the tower

1. For it to be 1996 again... when WARM was good, gas was 79 cents a gallon, the soft pretzels at high school football games were plentiful (inside joke), and Lauren Perkins was on WBRE (and single)

2. Airchecks of '70s WILK, WAEB, and any South Jersey top 40

3. For the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl
 
1. The Powerball to restore WARM to its former glory.
New transmitter, new building, bringing it back to what
it was. I have the jingle pack already.
2. After restoring WARM, I'd buy Magic and bring back
WYZZ. Announcers with nasal twangs, The Holiday for
Strings Orchestra, dogs roaming the control room, (I
hate cats) classical music at night, then an all night
show sponsored by the Trucksville Pharmacy.
3. I'd then buy a 3,000 watt FM and turn it into an
All Polka format.
4. A Radio/TV/Broadcast Museum located on South Franklin
Street, preferabley in the old WILK building. Or perhaps
the Westmoreland Club. (I will after all have Powerball
funds!)
The broadcast related things done, here's my personal
list.
1. Good health for friends and family so everyone is in
the same place next Christmas.
2. The return of the troops from Iraq. Soon.
3. As much success with my next book "Dial Up" as I had
with "A Radio Story".
4. A national agency to pick up "A Radio Story" and shop
it nationally to publishers and film makers.
5. And last but not least, you know I couldn't keep this
off my list, A GEENA DAVIS FOOT RUB!!!!

That's right - I remember seeing that thing in the basement. It was two cabinets I believe. I can't remember the "Brand" (Standard Electric or some such thing).

The magic went out of radio when computers started programming stations instead of humans that could adjust to outside influences like weather or current events or just programmed from your gut. Oh well... It is what it is...
That's why "they" invented iPods I guess...

Ditto that, Matt was a totally great guy, came in to replace the infamous Johnny Kilgore (I think hes still tucked in a fetal position across the street from the studios..) Matt brought fun, a killer ear, a great edge and an open mind to ZRock (and the Bear/mountain) I miss him terribly and wish for Christmas that hes chillin' up w/ the big DJ upstairs, drinkin' Tinks Irish Coffees, and remembering the trips out to the roof to..ummhmmm... get some fresh air....
my Brain still hurts from the 1995 edition of the Scranton St. Pattys day parade, oouuuhhhh faaahhhh....Starting at tinks at 0730..Matt,Keith, Chooch, Jude,Joe, Ed,Jay,John, The ice cold tub of Red dog in the 107 van at 9am, pi$$ stop at the Krantz(while the van was 2 blocks up in front of the mall..) for a certain lame duck PD that couldn't hold it till the end of the parade... very, very good f'in times, miss em dearly...
Oh yeah.. and never do flaming shots of Black Sambuca at the Krantz b4 doing an overnight shift,especially during going away parties, The CE might have to wind up pulling your shift...

And no underpants...by the way, according to Harp-eye Matt wasn't funny, either.

And hit your eyebrows with the fire extinguisher.

Merry Christmas ya fruits. Here's one for Ol' Matt.

Goggles on!
Isn't it a hoot how the moronic villians we meet along the way
in radio become hilarious cartoons after a little time passes.
Without them what fun would it be?
 
Whose going away party was THAT! :)
