WXYZ channel 7 Action news reports on Jim Johnson and the morning crew's10th anniversary on 98.7 WLLZ, in 1988. Also Dick Purtan's 5th anniversary with Bill Bonds on Z-95.5 WCZY ,
In my opinion, Dick Purtan's heyday wasn't in the 60's on CKLW but in the 80's when he was on WCZY. I listened to him every morning and he was hilarious. Even when he got the artist's name wrong.
Boy, in that van, Eric looks an awful lot like Red Green. Has anybody seen or heard from Jim Johnson since he was on FOX 2's Let It Rip? Purtan has since moved on to WOMC (oldies), and will sign off for the final time in March.
Oh no, look at that dashboard. : )
