Long-time Pittsburgh personality Larry O’Brien is featured on his solo morning show on WTAE on November 7, 1973. Don’t be fooled by the “same old” Boss jingle opening – WTAE was not a cookie-cutter format. In addition to playing an adult mix of contemporary hits with deep oldies support, WTAE was also originating Pittsburgh Steeler NFL games. You’ll hear a number of surprises, including the Johnny Mann Singers’ rendition of “DeNardo Weather” (a reference to the Joe DeNardo weather service), and some comedy quickies by O’Brien.
In 1975, O’Brien was teamed with PM driver John Garry (featured on this aircheck voicing a contest promo) for mornings on WTAE. O’Brien and Garry remained together for decades.
