WICE in those days was the biggest influence on my life. I lived and died with that station in 68,69, 70. Slept with it under my pillow and snuck it into school with a Pen radio i bought from the back of Boys Life. Milke Sands in the morning was the best. But the talent that was the most inspirational for me was the overnite guy. Using a pretty common AM DJ monikor, Jim Cook, he still stood out to me as a unique personality. He had a character by the name of Patrica who was some sort of chimpmonk. Certainly tame by todays standards, at the time, it was an attempt to put some spark in the market. I remember waking up off and on through out any given night and hearing Cook and Patrica taking up Three Dog Night or Neillson or any other classic 60's classic.


anybody else remember the jocks or formanting of WICE from that time period. i think it was "73" when sherm came in w/ jack comley and change it to talk.
 
Around that 1970 era..I remember Mike Sands, King Arthur Knight, JK Harrington, Dave Pierce, Charles Schovil (SP) on news..Gentleman Jim Pride...Gary Steele (Gary DeGraide) Davy Jones was there in late 60's prior to jumping to PRO-AM...
 
Add to that list, Bill Corsair, who went on to host a long running overnight show at WCAU, Don Berns, who went on to work in Buffalo and San Diego among other stops, Bob DeCarlo, Bob Hollands, and Buzz Brindle (as S. Brindle Brown). Didn't Brad Pierce also work at WICE?
 
Shouldn't have hit post so fast, as I think it came back to me. I believe Brad Pierce worked at WICE as Shadow Morgan.
 
News: John Kennedy ("Kennennnenndy"), George Hyde, Bob Cusack

Jocks: (Ed) Coles and (Jim) Patterson, Jack Burns, Frank Kingston Smith, Jack Rose
 
WICE in the mid to late 60's was Top 40 AM radio at its peak. A great station with great jocks.
 
It really was. I'm always a little surprise we don't see more historical reflection at this site regarding WICE. As much as i hated it at the time, they were talk radio a good ten years before HJJ. The combination of it being the gold standard for Top 40 in the 60's and early 70's and then lead the way for a talk format deserves more recognition. It was nice to see all those names.
 
If not for WICE's Bob Hollands, I could've used my real name on WPRO!

WOW.

Those top 15 songs could be a greatest hits album.
I got all the way down to Dino, Desi & Billy @ 16 before I tuned-out.
And even those bottom-of-the-list "turntable hits" added freshness to the rotation.

Hard to believe a station that, unapologetically, played songs-like-those-top-15 couldn't click.
50/60-somethings might be "out of the [25-54] demographic," but they're radio's heaviest users.
And they control more wealth than anyone else.

But the station most likely to play these songs is B101 and CC classic hits or oldies stations all have the same playlist nationwide. Dumbed down programming enabling them to put PDs in place that normally wouldn't stand a chance at getting their jobs.

Those stations are AVOIDING music-this-vintage!

Notice how remaining Oldies stations call it "Classic Rock" now?
They're afraid of THE WORD!

Who needs 'em!

I'm surprised not to see "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter", by Herman's Hermits on that playlist.
