Rocking and Rolling to WBBF

WBBF was our radio link to the rock and roll scene blasting out the Top 40 24X7 to Greater Monroe County. Of course, there was Hullabaloo, Shindig, and American Bandstand on network TV, but locally there was WBBF. (WCMF - FM rock radio was still years away.) Attached is a brief aircheck from Jessica Savitch who later achieved prominence as an anchorwomen for NBC News. Also see a WBBF pick list for March 1967 with the Top 40 songs for the week and a DJ schedule. And remember, if you wanted to purchase any of those hot 45s, it required a trip downtown to Midtown Records or Jay's Record Ranch to get the best selection.

I didn't know Jessica Savitch was on WBBF, but I know another DJ extremely well and he's still going strong on the air in Kansas City after a career in TV and the movies - Jerry Fogel, The Emperor on from 6-10 a.m.
