Tom Snyder-RIP

I learned this morning that Tom Snyder had passed away. Many may remember his shows on the Radio. dxAce Michigan USA He said many times that Radio was his first love. For being the near doofus he could be on TV, sometimes, I was quite surprised to discover how good he really was on radio when his syndicated show hit WLS at night. He was sharp, he was funny, he was quick. And yet, he still managed to retain the essential qualities that made him so popular on TV. He was also not unwilling to ask a tough question, or two, when the need arose. Night time radio has been a placeholder for decades, in most markets. John McCormick on KMOX was the last one I recall who really 'got' night time radio, and played it like a virtuoso musician. When McCormick retired, Snyder was a very nice gift. Still as 'dig me' as he ever was, but it worked better on radio than TV. |
