I interned at WEDO Radio in McKeesport in the summer of 1974, so I got to know all the jocks that worked there, plus a few office folks, such as Dave Leiner, who was a salesman at the time. Also, Richard "Dick" Ruby, who was our chief engineer. On air jocks at this time were Dennis Reed, Joe Palka, Tom Edwards. The format was Oldies, with newer songs being labeled, "FUTURE GOLD". The request line was called the "Gold Diggers Request Line", and the phone number was 412-462-0316. (Amazing that I can remember that phone number all these years later). Anyway, I recorded this air-check of Tom Edwards during Tom's afternoon drive shift, on October 21, 1975. It was recorded on one of those carry around radios, with a built in cassette recorder. I think it was a Panasonic. I cleaned up the audio as best I could. Hope it brings back some memories for some folks. Many of the businesses that were sponsors are long gone... if not, all of them.
