Dave Mann is Dave Manheimer. Also worked at WTAC 600 and WXYZ 1270 as Johnny Randall. His picture is on many WTAC Big 600 Surveys available currently online. Don't know if this link will work but I'll try.

Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

This is when WTAC, WTRX, and WFDF were the stations to listen to. I remember when Bob Burchett was lured over to TRX after years on WFDF.

Bob Burchett also had night and weekend airshifts as "Robert R. Morgan" on WCAR, "The Giant Eleven Thirty", as well as WFDF, "The Giant Ninety One". Because the signals overlapped, he used a different name on WCAR.

By 1975, Bob was at WTRX doing a live afternoon shift and a voice tracked overnight shift, and a "Frantic" evening shift at WDEE. Since the signals didn't overlap except for radio geeks, he used Bob Burchett on both stations.

When WWCK dropped the Dayparted Top 40 in late 1975 and went all AOR, WTRX went to a hotter Adult Contemporary/Softer Top 40.
