In my time (the mid-80's), and probably yours if you are bothering to view this page, you listened to the likes of Ken Schott, Al Zacchario, Mike Otto & Paul Spreer (Morning Show), Phil Madary, Jeff Nuss, Jim Mentzer ("Time Passages"), "Metalhead Mandy " Wagner, Todd Ballantyne, Jeff McGinniss, Paul Yodzis, Craig Kunneman ("Cellular Panic Nightmare" ), Jeff Best & Tracy Leather ("Rage in the Cage"), Carrie Tatum, Neil "The Fish" Essenden, Holly Kroekel, John Collier, and a few others whose faces I can remember, just not their names.</b></div> <div> <B>____________________________________________</b></div> <div> <B>Here is a brief history and comment by Tom Gibson from the official WVYC website: </b><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B> </b></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>    </b><I><B>" </b></I></FONT><I><B>Tom's (</b></I><B>Gibson</b><I><B>) voice is on clip #1 (</b></I><B>see sound clips below) </b><I><B>reading the sign-on for the first transmitter test on October 18, 1976 at 12:42 AM.
