1973 - 1975

Joe Maston originally from Massena, known as Jay Walker who was with the station 1970 (aprox) until he left for WHEN some time in 1976. A very funny and entertaining fellow who was known for his twisting of the artist's names. Example; Len Skynyrd, Chuck Daniels or Al Hammond.                                                                                      _______________________________________________________________________________

Ron BeeClick Here for Ron Bee

June 1973

Jocking on WOLF? Yep, apparently a fill in one late evening June 17, 1973 for Jay Walker. Ron went on to several positions. One at WRRB and WKFM before returning to join his friend Rick Gary on WSYR for a short while. But because of WSYR's conservative listeners that was short lived and Ron moved on to WSEN and WEZG for a number of years.
Ron Bee was the very successful morning man on B104.7. Another gem from the collection of Lee Goodman.

Pete McKay

January 1974

Pete is also a member of the WOLF two timers club having been at the station on three separate occasions. The first time as a student of Syracuse University on the part-time staff as Ron White. And the second in the summer of 1973. In the early 70's, part timers were given names that had already been sung in the jingle package. Ron White was the program director of WOLF's sister station WGRD in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pete went on to WHEN and later to a teaching career. He landed for a third time at Big WOLF Country in 1982 and stayed on when Craig Fox, the current owner bought the station, as a jock on the oldies format which was short lived. Pete spent some years in cable and broadcast television and recently retired as an engineer at WCNY-FM.
