WOGL 98.1 Philadelphia – George Michael – Radio Greats Reunion – April 23 1993
WOGL has been Philadelphia’s Oldies/Classic Hits station since Fall 1987. WOGL has staged two extensive reunions of popular Philadelphia DJs from the 1950s – 1970s. The former jocks were flown into Philadelphia and guest-hosted and reminisced live on the air in the weekend-long events. The first reunion took place April 23 – April 25, 1993 and included George Michael, “Banana Joe” Montione, Frank X. Feller, Jim Nettleton, Dr. Don Rose, Dan Donovan, Brother Love, Joe Niagara, Dean Tyler, Jerry Blavat, Hy Lit, George Woods, Joe Grady, Ed Hurst, Don Cannon, Ken Matz, Jay Cook, Dave Parks, John Landecker, and J.J. Jeffrey. The second reunion, May 10 – 12, 1996 included many of the same personalities.
This aircheck, from the 1993 reunion, features George Michael, who spent many years on air at WFIL in Philly, & WABC in New York, before moving to Washington D.C. to become a TV sportscaster.-Ellis
