These 45’s come from the collection of disc jockey and former Program Director of the Dial Global Radio Network’s (formerly the Westwood One Radio Network) Chick Watkins, who was at WCUE in Akron, OH. Most saw some airplay, thus the stickers and some writing on the labels. Here is a bit more about Chick and his long radio career. I am selling these on his behalf…. This 45 comes in a plain white sleeve.. Chick Watkins began his radio adventures in Akron, Ohio at WCUE Radio, where he spent 14 years as Program Director and Operations Manager of the combined AM and FM. In 1970, he joined WGAR-AM in Cleveland as Air Talent/Production Manager and Program Director. After 12 years with that legendary station, he joined Westwood One to help launch the network's first format as Program Director for Adult Contemporary. After two years with KOY-AM and FM in Phoenix as Program Director and Operations Manager, he returned to Westwood One as Program Director and Midday Host of Adult Standards. (12P-4P ET) In 1999, the station (WAKR) reverted back into a standards format with most music programming being satellite-based from Westwood One, with its' morning news program as the lone holdover of the previous format. Coincidentally, one of the Westwood One Adult Standards personalities that was heard on the station, Chick Watkins, had local ties in that he was program director at WCUE and WCUE-FM from 1956 to 1970 (and also was program director for Cleveland's WGAR from 1970 to 1982).
