Who is Mike Stevens?

Several years ago I started doing research for Wikipedia at UNCC. They have access to Charlotte Observers before 1984 online. Mecklenburg libraries have this too.

So I found some stories about Love 97 and added information to the WKKT Wikipedia article.

One article that had already been used as a source (I just checked the history; it was me!) said a DJ was using the name Mike Stevens but that wasn't his name. I couldn't find anything useful in the article and didn't understand why I used that as a source. But it said Mike Stevens of WSOC was not the Mike Stevens on Love 97. One of the two Mikes said it shouldn't have been a problem. No one who listens to the 40 and 50s music on WSOC is ever going to listen to Love 97.

Actually, I did listen to both stations. And WSOC was playing a lot more than 40s and 50s music. I remember Kenny Rogers.
 
I met a Mike Stevens that worked at Z100 (WJZR in Kannapolis) when it was top 40. I later heard him on K104.7 for a while. For some reason I am thinking he passed away.
 
I may have replaced Mike Stevens at WSOC. That's probably why PD Don Bell wanted me to use Michael Sheridan instead of Mike but we are talking about something that happened 40 years ago, so the memory fades. In any case I never ran into him.
