Ron Cade's Elvis & Friends dates back to WRCP 1540

Let's not forget the Saturday Night Dance Party with Bob Pantano

and Butterball's Sunday night oldies show on WDAS-FM has been going strong for years and was originally hosted by Harvey Holiday.

Gene Shay's folk show goes back to the early '60s--started at WHAT-FM, moved to WMMR, WIOQ, WHYY and now WXPN.

Sure, the NAME "Breakfast with the Beatles" has been around, but I do not think the program that Andre Gardner hosts has any resemblance to the show once hosted by Helen Leicht (pronounced LIGHT) and originated on the old Prog Rock Q-102/WIOQ way back when (don't know what year, perhaps someone can step in here and guide me). <P ID="signature">______________

I wasn't talking about Andre's show in particular, I was talking about "Breakfast with the Beatles" in general. It's been around here for awhile, its been in several markets for awhile. Did OGL ever have a variation of the show, or am I also thinking Q-102/WIOQ?

I know the Hy Lit Hall of Fame has been on a long time....but not consecutively.
There's been several periods where it took a long hiatus.

Another good show is the Sunday morning thing on Suny 1045. The sunny lounge, or something like that. This past week they were playing christmas stuff from frank sinatra, mel torme, tony bennett and more. Great old stuff. I think the show is there every sunday.
 
Jay Lamont's Real Estate show has been on WPEN since the 1970's, also the Jelnick's "Dining Around" was on (I think they said) 32 years on WCAU, WWDB & WPEN until it left the air when WPEN went all sports last month.

"Comment Please" local noontime talk show has been on WNPV since 1960, their only talk show when they were MOR until the 1990's and still their only local general topic talk show. WBCB's "Speak Your Piece" at the same hour is a little older but was off the air for a time in the '90's. WBCB's Saturday polka show started way back ('60's?) on WTTM and moved to WBCB when 920 became religious WCHR.
