Sick
Nick
July
1981
Nick started on WOLF replacing Uncle Ben Brode doing overnights
and eventually moving to Syracuse Nightime radio 7 to Midnight, a
gig that would last 3 years plus.
As you'll hear he landed at
95X after WOLF then WRUN in Utica, eventually returning to 93Q in
Syracuse. Then it was on to Buffalo and WNYS-FM for his first
morning gig for another 3 years.
Nick did several tours in
Florida then headed west, eventually ending back in the north-east
in Binghamton. Nick also worked mornings at WODZ/Oldies 96
in Utica/Rome.
With thanks, this aircheck recorded Friday July
10th is from the Joe Dolan
collection.

The Last 20
Minutes of WOLF
July 12,
1981
Lee Goodman was the last jock on the air and
Lee and I (Bob Mitchell) had the pleasure of being the last Top 40
voices on the station. Here is the last 20 minutes of WOLF including
a montage which Bob Reynolds and I produced to run the entire last
month of the station before the change, some of which you've all
heard. WOLF ends appropriately with "The End" by The Beatles, which
leads into the final 3 hours of The Black Experience with Jim
Martin. Thanks to Kathy Rowe for this rememberance.

WOLF Jock Montage Part
1
The 50's and
60's
This is a collection of very short
airchecks of jocks that there I only had a break or two of. So
rather than have one 30 second one, they are assembled together
in a montage. Some of these are on air promos which may be all
that exists.
We start with a Dick Clark promo, Thom T.W.
Saunders, Bob Dell Dance Party promo, Dandy Dan Leonard, George
Brewer promo, Johnny Vann promo, Big George Plavacos and Dick
Richards.

Tribute to
Jim Sims
After 19 years at WOLF, Jim
Sims (who had become production director) left to move to
Youngstown, Ohio and his own production company. He later returned
and moved "Jim Sims Productions" back to Syracuse, and did morning
drive for a few years on WSEN. This tribute was produced by Rick
Gary upon his leaving in 1979, and was a spoof of his now infamous
promos using the Great Rip Off/Last Contest style.
Jim Sims
passed away in 1998. His production genius will truly be
missed.
