… the WWDC Radio One-Ders softball team, made up of all sorts of assorted has-beens and hangers-on …
Johnny Holliday’s music radio stint in Washington was the bridge from his Top 40 days to his vocation as the voice of University of Maryland sports. As a KYA alumnus, Johnny’s AVCO connection landed him in the morning slot at personality-AC WWDC in 1969. Immediately, Holliday’s smarts, creativity and sense of timing made him the market’s most talked-about talent  he was the radio guy’s radio guy.
On this aircheck, WNBC’s Don Imus phones Holliday for a conversation broadcast in both New York and D.C. Comments are made on the call regarding Pat Whitley, former WWDC Program Director who had joined WNBC, working under GM Perry Bascom.
One of Holliday’s regular characters, Billy Biceps, stops by for a short tune, and the spotlight shone on “Captain” Dan Rosenson is unique for a traffic reporter.
