The second aircheck is from Dave’s last day on the radio; he went down the hall to WHBQ-TV, where he began doing some news and weathercasts, and co-hosting the local wrestling show. He was there until 1977, when he defected to rival station WMC-TV, and took the wrestling show with him. Brown became the station’s chief meteorologist, a position he holds to this day … and hosted the wrestling show well into the 1990s. Brown is well-known in WWF circles as one of the best ringside announcers.
As a special treat, you hear a full, uncut James Brown concert promo! Listen for what sounds like a gaffe in the Plymouth Road Runner promo; it seems like the announcer is saying “Talent 13 Channel Party” instead of “Channel 13 Talent Party.” (I’ve played that over and over and it sounds like a mistake!) We’ve all heard of that program’s host, George Klein.
