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.

Last 20 minutes of WOLF

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.

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.
