Kel Crum pursWSWOLinerParty_20140308_0061ued a career in radio the day he discovered there was no long-term money in folding balloon animals. He later discovered there wasn’t much more money in radio, but what’s done is done.

He has worked at several stations including WDPR in Dayton, WBLY in Springfield, and WLW in Cincinnati. Kel has been writing comedy material for radio legend Gary Burbank for over twenty years and some of his own self-produced bits have been heard on the Dr. Demento Show.

An avid collector of novelty records, Kel hosts the annual “Halloween Madness” and “Crazy Christmas” specials on this station and during his regular noon-to-3 Sunday shift presents a special segment at least once each hour called “The Novelty Corner”, profiling wacky records both familiar and obscure.

What else? Kel is also a freelance cartoonist and occasional stand-up comic. He currently lives in Fairborn with his wife Debra and numerous pet rats.

If Kel has learned anything valuable during his fifty years of existence, it’s that writing about yourself in the third person is pretentious.

Mr. Big was in third grade when the Bob Braun Show came to the Victory Theater downtown.  WDTN was providing the camera equipment.  When I walked into the auditorium, I saw the cameras and knew at that moment I wanted to be in broadcasting.  Fast forward to sophomore year at Northridge High School, I discovered […]

I listened to Top 40 radio in the ’60s and ’70s from Dayton, Cincinnati, and Chicago. In the early ’70s, I worked at stations in Jackson, OH and London, KY. On my Saturday show I try to bring some of that Top 40 energy as we play the great music from that time. It is […]

Born and raised in the land of funk (Dayton, Ohio) I was lucky enough to hear some of the best music that have influenced me though my life. From local radio to the great bands and solo acts, I got the itch for radio early in my life. One of the first paying jobs came […]

Hi Oldies Listeners, my name is Joey B. I grew up here in the local area and have been listening to all this great music we play here ever since I can remember. Keeping this great music alive one of my goals because I don’t want it to be lost for current or future listeners. […]

As I was growing up listening to top 40 rock and roll radio stations in the early 1960’s, I began to develop a passion for wanting to become a top 40 style radio announcer. Discovering firsthand the harsh realities of the commercial radio industry in the mid 1970’s, while working at two small town commercial […]

              John Bennett’s radio career began in his bedroom with his records and the weather forecast clipped from the newspaper as he tried to sound like the great Top 40 DJs of the time. After college he went to LaPorte, Indiana, one of the most remote radio outposts in […]

Some say I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle.  As far back as I can remember,  I always wanted to be on the radio.  When I was a little kid, my grandparents had a big console radio in their living room and I used to listen to our local announcers on that radio.  I vowed, […]

  I got “hooked” on radio as a child. I received a 14 transistor radio at the age of nine. It was small enough to be concealed under the pillow on my bed. This afforded me countless hours of listening to the “BIG” clear channel stations. Stations like WLW-Cincinnati,WLS-Chicago,WSM-Nashville,WBAP-Dallas,CKLW-Windsor/Detroit,and numerous others.  At this time I was […]
