Yea I do remember Capt Jack I worked there for a while in 91-92 sales weekends on air who knows Jack was kind of a derelict he could be flipping pizzas in Jersey
Last I heard, Vince was at 99.9 in Allentown.
Captain Jack is at The Breeze on the Jersey Shore.
What happened to Bridget Morgan?

I like Bridget she was cool one of the few who worked at Wyos Wbax with out a major ego

He was at 99.9 in Allentown as Vince McNalley. He left there about three years ago and moved to Kentucky to a nice 'homestead' where he now does voice work from his home studio. You can still hear him on numerous spots running on various stations in the Lehigh Valley.
Thanks for the info I can see him in the Bluegrass State

Captain Jack -- what a guy! Actually I only met him once...might have been twice...
It was August 1991. Mike Raymond (former GM of WSGD) was WYOS's GM and he was sort of "out for blood." He really wanted to take WSGD down. So I got the call to come down to Nanticoke (I think) -- the studios were still in that two-story building with the big windows.
Anyway he was going to make me music director. Now realize, I was working at WARM board opping the "mayor's show" on Tuesdays and Phillies games at night and hating every minute of it. I was bounced out of 'SGD the previous Christmas, it was summer, my junior year of college was still a month away...so I figured "What the hell. I'll take a ride."
So I get the grand tour of the studios. I wasn't impressed. All of the equipment was OLD...had that "taped together" look. WYOS had a "new" board -- well, new to them anyway. And then Mike introduces me to the morning man -- Captain Jack. My first impression was "this guy is on something." He just gave off this weird vibe like something was "off." But he was willing to trust me -- a 20-year-old kid -- with the station's music.
About a week later though, I got the call from Jack Meyers (or it might have actually been Jim Rising) that 107 was looking for a new part timer. The Prospector knew me from Marywood and he put in a good word. So I had to make a decision YOS or one weekend shift at the Rock. In the end, I guess I made the right decision because three years later, WE bought YOS. And 17 years later, I'm still here.
Anyway, that's my one time dealing with Captain Jack. He just seemed kind of burned out. I'd be interested to hear about the guy from anyone that actually worked with him at

I was doing mornings at WTLQ with Ted Rose then...our paths crossed a number of times. I got the same impression. Whenever he saw us he acted like he'd known us for 20 years. When you looked in his eyes it seemed like someone else was driving.

I thought Joe Cruz was on the station. I remember a guy using the Monty Python song "always look on the bright side" as a sign off. Vince Weber was actually at WBAX in the 70s too doing nights during the Dick Booth Dave Donlin era.
Most of that time I remember dealing with WBAX which ran a version of The Music of Your Life. Mike Kaye did 12noon to 6pm. George Kupstas who worked with me at the old WPTS did a 6 hour airshift. There was a guy from WYZZ who always wore a beret who did the overnights and though I don't remenber his name, he was entertaining. I did a public affairs show on WBAX from 1987 to 1991, it was called Dialogue. The AM studio was so thrown together with duct tape that I was afraid to touch anything. I actually taped the show at another station and dropped the tape off on Saturday nights. It ran Sundays at 730AM.
WYOS had these nifty black jackets. The late Lee Vincent had his years after Shamrock bought the frequency and wore it proudly.

I worked with Capt Jack he was a strange bird to say the least I had the privilege of working on air weekends AT WYOS AND WBAX and selling the store on weekdays in 91-92 Jack would call every 10 mins complaining about something always huffing and puffing one Saturday night he pop in it appeared to me he was under the influence he was a big guy from Jersey and thought of himself as a Soprano type I mean right up in my face and I told him where to go after crying to the GM Joe Kayle Monday morning to get his diaper changed he never brother me again with trivial B/S.Not longer after I was terminated I think that was one of the reasons. that's radio they all fired you sooner or later No animosity on my part great experience.Wyos-Wbax had a guy in sales by the name of Rick Neyhard he reminded me of the frosted lucky charms elf I liked him anyone know what happen to him
