The Rob Frankel Collection
… Sing it in abstentia! …
[DESCRIPTION BY UNCLE RICKY] This wonderful exhibit from Master Restorian Rob Frankel begins as Charlie Greer is handing off the Saturday morning shift to prankster Dan Ingram, who is “groping in for Herb Oscar Anderson” and determined to have fun and make sure he’s not asked to come to work on Saturday at 6AM again! Good Morgan? Was this a salute to Asst. PD Glenn Morgan? Why does Dan remind “Spanish people” that fireworks are illegal? This was obviously a reference to something local and timely all those years ago. And Procol Harum actually means something – I just always thought it was about hookahs and horny dudes surrounded by submissive women. Wow. I was born in Flushing, but you New York Lifers were really sophisticated. I left Queens when I was 5 so I guess I’ll just never understand, but I never forgot Route 22, Union New Jersey, creeping through the skip into my North Carolina bedroom. Sure seems there are a LOT of jingles in this exhibit and they are all great. This must be the most off-the-wall performance I’ve ever heard from Big Dan. What a great entertainer!

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
