WFUN Miami - Last Day On The Air 1/6/76 - from WCIX-TV Film Library

It was a sad day for Miami radio when WFUN changed format on January 6, 1976. The once-proud Top 40 rocker would take the easy listening route, before re-emerging as WNWS (news and talk radio). This is a piece of film that I saved from getting the deep six, when we purged our news film library at the old Channel 6 in Miami. This was the "voice over with sound" that the anchor read his script over, on The Ten O'Clock News.

I would have never expected to see Brad here!....It has been almost 20 years since we were married. He died in 1992. Thanks so much, to who ever took the time to post this video. It touches my heart to see names like: Don Wright, Jim Edwards and many others. What a life we had back then...I have very fond memories of all of you. may you be healthy and happy.

@jazzupthespirit I'm glad we were able to save this footage, and share it with the world. I used to listen to Brad on WFUN. Those were some amazing days.

If you do a search of Duck Duck Goose, you'll find "The Professor"! Check it out.

@jazzupthespirit I grew up in Miami in the 60's and 70's. When radio was great.

Sorry to hear about Brad:((

That was the greatest thing about AM radio- Peter, Paul and Mary, into WAR, into Elton John into... everything!

Incredible footage. Was anything ever discovered of Duck Duck Goose or any childrens programming?
