I heard that Charlie O'Donnel was there at WOR is this the same one that went to KCOP-TV in the 1970's in LA and Wheel of Fortune? 1980's to 2010.. By the way Sebastian Stone of WOR also worked for KFRC in San Francisco and Merv Griffin also worked for KFRC right when RKO took over the station in the 1950's

I donated a short clip of Charlie O'Donnel from his brief stint at WOR-RM in the spring of 1968. Elsewhere on this tribute site, is a slightly longer version of Charlie on a Sunday night show. He was just in from the West Coast and referred to the GSP as the Grand Central Freeway.

I understand Charlie O'Donnel he got confused between the Golden State Freeway and the Garden State Parkway.

On the Bob Elliot aircheck, he takes requests from "The Queens" as well as from "The Bronx".

I just played the clip, he actually called it the Cross Island Freeway before the Neil Diamond song.

I liked finally hearing Pat Holiday as China Blue...I believe this was between gigs at CKLW.

That was a classic aircheck. I just loved how the Drake stations shifted jocks (and newsman as well) between the various stations. Someone like Walt Baby Love worked at CKLW, KHJ and WOR-FM/WXLO. Rick Shaw mentioned above jocked at WOR-FM as well as KFRC (both Shaw and Love came originally KILT/Houston).
