The founder of 700WLW "The Nation's Station." This is the guy who had the vision to build the really big tower in Mason, Ohio.
A modern day radio legend. If you listen to any talk radio today you are hearing his vision. Randy taught the "Grand Dame" of radio to sing her beautiful songs again. And he came up with that crass phrase "The Big One." So much for art.
A true multimedia talent of radio, recording, television and movies. A native of Cincinnati. We're very proud to be able to say Bob was a part of the 700WLW family.
She starred on 700WLW before moving on to recording, stage, screen and television. A true tri-state legend and beauty, proving "back in the day" there was no such thing as a face for radio.
Cris was a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Then hosted SportsTalk on The Big One. Then on to NBC, FOX, HBO and now back to NBC. His career really hit the skids, huh?
No kidding. She worked at The Big One, is a native of the tri-state and Doris Day is not her real name. A shocker we know.
Were "Durwood's" parents practical jokers or just cruel?
Simply put, she invented radio and television talk shows. She was Oprah about 50 years before Oprah ever stepped in front of a camera. She's not responsible for Jerry Springer, however.
Al was the voice of the Cincinnati Reds for a few years on 700WLW in the early 1970's. Sad to see his career hit the skids too.
Rod worked for The Big One as a writer, leaving Cincinnati for the bright lights of New York, The Twilight Zone and CBS!
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a Bitch!" "Fragile! It must be Italian!" Now you know who he is, right?
Much of his act was based on characters and visual humor. The ultimate performer who proved radio is truly theatre of the mind.
From overnight radio on The Big One to the CBS This Morning Show. We're still wondering why he left.
When you listen to modern sports talk radio, here is the man that invented it. Brash, opinionated. From the NFL, to The Big One, to NBC. Bob is the unapologetic source.
We guess a condition of employment at 700WLW "back in the day" was not to play with the organ of the owner (get your mind out of the gutter).
We forgive Andy for Branson, Missouri. Really, we do. He and his brothers starting singing on 700WLW before moving on to stardom on TV and...Branson. Ours is not to ask why.
