Thanks again to Wayne Ashworth, WTOB News Director, seen here from 1969.

ReplyDeleteGood stuff. I listened during the Dutchman period. He had a character named Ed Bierly?. Dutchman would ask Ed how his bird was and Ed would say, "My bird's dead." I guess you had to be there.
ReplyDeleteManaged WTOB in the 19704 -75. Knew Steve Norris, Others had moved on as Jocks do.

I listened to wtob everyday when I was a teenager back in the 60"s. George lee was the D J at the the local teen canteen at Boonville school for several years where my rock and roll combo performed quite abit . it was great and very, very fond memories for me . GOOD LUCK WTOB.
ReplyDeleteI remember and spent a lot of free time at the station, mostly answering phones for George Lee. R.I.P. George.
ReplyDeleteDutch is in Texas...retired. Don't know other locations.
Any pictures available of Good Buddy Bob Langdon? He recently passed away at the age of 60
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember when The Flying Dutchman was taken off the air by a deputy serving papers while he was on the air? It happened in 1966 or 1967.
ReplyDeleteGrew up with WTOB in the 60's. Great article and photos ~ thank you!
ReplyDeleteTo this day, I still say to myself, "I'd rather drive a little slower, and be a little late, than be the late George Lee". Bless his heart.
