I was there. Some foggy memories.

Well now, what a fabulous surprise to see, then hear this today. Quick question for you all as food for thought. What's the possibility that some decent air talent might slide into this format? Not unlike the sirius underground garage, which for sure is not everyone's taste...but take a listen to ...

Hey Andy, When you describe "Jimmy P" I think of our friend at Southside Jimmys on Burton at Breton. Same one? I did not know he was part of the Orbit Room. I knew Don quite well at OR, but with Light Rock, well, not so much promotion! Then worked with Jimmy at SJ almost weekly with after work ...

I never did meet Geoff when I was with Liggett, but his name was brought up often in Grand Rapids, with rave reviews.

Well Bob, it's been fun to be a part of your magnificent career. But don't call it quits just yet... Robert "Bob" Sirott is 72,(born August 9, 1949). He is the morning host at WGN-AM in Chicago. He is also a former television news anchor, most recently working in that role at Chicago's WFLD. https ...

This is one of the hardest things I have ever written. My friend Michael passed away this morning from MS. His wife Jackie informed me just after 6am. Michael was a friend, a brother, a midday guy, a follower of Jesus, a third baseman, a lover of thousand island dressing and if I recall correctly ...

Got my interest this morning. I think Tim Moore may have sent out the Bob and Tom tapes back in the day. As a sidebar, I interviewed for the morning show at WJML as their replacement sometime in 80 I think. It was with the legend who is/was Lucy Nally. The interview took place at MUS. I wound up ...

One addition to Original's post. Ron, while running CUZ hired many and taught many more how to behave like a professional in an industry which doesn't exactly breed the type. While times change, throughout his time and beyond, the Grand Rapids market was a better place to be. I never worked with Ron ...

Len O'Kelly posted a nice tribute to him on Linked in.

Pretty funny Reese. Lets look at who runs these stations and makes decisions. Exactly what do you expect?

I miss the days when you and Neil would shoot bottle rockets at our studio!

I think I feel the same as Andy, but I have I-96, WOOD, and EZ 1057 gear. As well as several incarnations of W-Light, W-Lite, and WLHT between 84 and 98.

Bob and Jim Jensen took what was a fledgling Liggett Broadcasting in 1984 and built it into a formidable organization in multiple markets. Bob and Jim were true competitors, good broadcasters, and great people to work with and for. There are plenty of stories that go back to the 80's and 90's ...

You haven't heard CHR until you hear me front sell the Spice Girls.
