If I had to narrow it down to one station, I'd have to say WLS/Chicago
during the 1960s. Like most teenagers in mid-America I tuned in every
night because they had the Top 40 hits days before my local stations; but
as much as I enjoyed the music, I loved the disc jockeys even more! Those
were the days of "personality" deejays who understood how to entertain the
audience between records, but without forgetting that the music itself was
the reason they were there. Dick Biondi, Ron Riley, Art Roberts, Clark
Weber -- these were the heroes of my youth, and instrumental in my getting
into radio myself.

I suppose if I had grown up a little closer to New York I'd have felt the
same way about the WABC Good Guys -- but WABC just didn't get into West
Tennessee all that well, while WLS boomed in.
