… blame it on Imus …
The rivalry demonstrated here between morning guy Jay Thomas, and
midday guy Lee Douglas is somewhat reminiscent of
the long-time
on-air battle between Ron Riley and Clark Weber at WLS a decade earlier.
This composite was assembled between September 22 and October 21, 1976.
Dick Sloane is featured filling in for Thomas in a brief segment
(at 24:37) and the voice of Terry Nelson is heard on 99X X-Van
$10,000 promos. Also featured: the voice of then 99X General Manager Erica Farber
(CEO/Publisher of Radio and Records) with a time-tested
promotional gag.
