With WMLP, Pete Gabriel also later worked at WARM. He did afternoon drive. He used to use "Big Boy Pete" by the Olympics as his theme. Last I heard he was in Illinois, but that's a very long time ago.
Also with WMLP. I lived in Hazleton, so we couldn't get it. But I remember going to Knoebel's with my family as a kid. This is 1971. My dad had a '60 Cadillac and anytime we went anywhere, I sat in the front and commandeered the radio. That trip to the park that Sunday afternoon was the first time I heard WMLP and it sounded great. It actually sounded quite a bit like WFIL, which was my favorite station. That afternoon, I heard a jock whom I've never forgotten. He sounded quite a bit like "King" George Michael of FIL, later of WABC. His name was Big John....something. Anybody have any idea who it was?.
