To follow up on two other threads......
WNED-AM 970 has announced it will pick up "Bob Edwards Weekend"
beginning the weekend of April 1st/2nd. The first hour will air
Saturdays 3-4PM, while hour 2 will replace "The Motley Fool Radio
Show" Sundays from 11AM-Noon.
And speaking of WNED-AM, therein lies the answer to another
thread....the dean of WNY.
The answer?? Al Wallack began at the "commercial" WEBR (in its'
"970ldies" era, for those who remember it)in 1973, and has been
heard continuously on the 970 frequency ever since, beating
Roger Christian by about two years for longest continuous tenure
on a Buffalo radio station. Al has survived the transition to
public radio (in 1975-76), the entire WEBR Newsradio history (and
his long association with "Jazz In The Nightime" from the
mid '70s to the early '90s), the transition to WNED-AM (and the
move to Horizons Plaza) in 1993, the near-demise of the station
in 1999, to the present, where Al presides over some of the most
quality programming....and local staff....in WNY radio.
Al certainly qualifies as the "dean" of WNY, and, in the truest
sense of the term, a "survivor". And, a helluva guy.
