Hit After Hit, Smash After Smash, Blockbuster After Blockbuster... Here is another "monster" lunch where the "stars" don't wait to come out at night. They are there at lunchtime!
It was a tribute to WMMR who is celebrating their 50th birthday this year. We had a great time celebrating the first half century of one of the top classic rockers in the country.
Our emcee for the entire afternoon was Bill Weston, the station's current Program Director. Who knows WMMR better that Bill?
We had a most interesting panel that included:
Preston & Steve, WMMR's current highly rated, popular morning radio hosts
John DeBella, established Morning Zoo at WMMR, now mornings at WMGK
Michael Tearson, WMMR former late night host/helped establish many rock icons
T. Morgan, former WMMR Program Director/afternoon host during the seventies
Ray Koob, one of the top rock jocks at the station when he was there in the 80s
Erin Riley, former music director, voted by Billboard as top 1987 MD in country
This all took place at the beautiful and historic Bala Golf Club, 2200 Belmont Avenue (across the street from the state police) in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia. Only minutes away from Channels 6, 10 and 17 and the radio stations in Bala Cynwyd.
