According to Frank Izzo, the contributor of this aircheck, Mitchell had the #1 morning show in the Capitol District for four years. Now, this is his final show. It’s GREAT AM Top 40, complete with TM (c) Fusion jingles and all!

Rick was truly one of the great talents in that market.
After staying on at WTRY-FM doing the morning show, Mitchell went to WQAR in Saratoga County in PM drive before going back to AM drive on WYJB (B 95.5) in Albany.
Came across this in a search for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and noted that Rick sounded exactly the same as when I worked shooting photos for the old Times Record from 1974-80. In those days I never moved the dial from WTRY as I cruised the Capital District looking for news. So here’s to Rick and Don and “Fred Peabody in the WTRY helicopter…” I really miss those days
I wish whoever found this could scare up some more Mitchell madness. This is some great stuff!
