… Hot Shot Robert Walker …
[Description by contributor R.J. Heim]
In 1982, the Mike Joseph Hot Hits format was sweeping the country, all on FM stations, mostly CBS O&O’s. In Harrisburg Pennsylvania, WFEC (1400 Khz) had been a successful Top-40 station through the 1970’s, before a format change to urban. They decided to try true Top 40 one last time.
I was hired to do the 1 – 5 p.m. shift Monday through Friday. Here’s a sample from March of 1982. A dream come true with big jingles, big reverb, and high energy, for a guy who grew up listening to Ron Lundy & Harry Harrison on WABC, and George Michael & Jim O’Brien on WFIL. I remember listening to the final shows of WABC as a music station while driving to work at WFEC.
