1300 WRBC was one of the Top-40 stations serving Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960s & 70s. One of the legendary jocks who worked behind the WRBC microphones, was Harry “Bud” Nelson.
Nelson’s long radio career included on-air and later PD at Top 40 68 WRKO/BOSTON, and he later went on to become PD at sister Oldies outlet WROR. Other radio stops included programming and on-air posts at KSLQ/ST. LOUIS, B95/KANSAS CITY, KLTK/DENVER, 610 KFRC/SAN FRANCISCO and WAPP/NEW YORK.
