I remember listening to a radio program on a station in Dayton, not WONE, not WING that had a program, I believe, on Sunday evenings and it played Dixieland and I think it was hosted by a guy "B" ...... Oh.... maybe it was "BW". And then there was another guy Dee Campbell that also played Dixieland. Gosh, I miss that. Was it WAVI? Man this is going deep into my hazy memory archives of those days. I love Dixieland.

BW did have a radio show, in the 70s I think, and I believe he did play jazz of some variety.

Nile: It wasn’t WAVI. WAVI was all talk-radio before there “was" talk radio and probably far to the “right” of Fox News. There principal conservative “talk-master” (as they termed them then), was Bob Kuessel, who made Rush Limbaugh look like a Sunday school teacher. :) Also they were owned by the same individual who owned WDAO, but their FCC license only allowed them to be a day-time show, closing down at 7:00 PM, although WDAO could broadcast 24-hr. I’m not sure why they eventually shut down and WDAO was purchased by their current owner Jim Johnson, who was previously the GM of WDAO. Maybe BigMo if he’s still around has info on their demise. BTW, I don’t remember BW’s name, but he was a well-known radio personality in the Dayton market, and did host a jazz-based radio program.

Yes, it was WAVI. At some point WAVI also played music. One of the DJ's was Bernie "BW" Wulkotte.

TNX to SS. Not being much of a music fan, I guess I didn’t tune in to WAVI when they weren’t talk. :)

There was a talk show on WING in the early-mid 80s called "Night Talk" with Stacey Taylor. Taylor later moved on to a station in San Diego.

I would drive around in the balmy night air with the top down on my convertible,radio on with the reverb unit cranked up listening to big band jazz driving in the country. I didn't want my friends to know that I listened to dorky music like Les Brown or the Dukes of Dixieland so, when I came back into town, I would change the radio back to WING. Remember the "Lively Guys"? And, supersix, now I know why the radio DJ was known only as "BW". What a name that would be a mouthful to say on the radio!

WHIO radio had a morning call in segment called "Ellery Quenn's Minute Mystery"- the objective was to solve a crime/story, and call in with your answer. It was a neat segment. Lou Em and Winston Hoehner were the radio personality's.

BW was a unique individual one of the nicest and friendly personalities I ever met. One of my favorite things he was noted for was that he was a food critic for the newspaper and the thing that he was great at was judging the restaurant for the market they were focusing on. Other critic for the paper was Ann Heler and her approach was not the common mans approach.

SUPERSIX was right on the money. BW was a DJ who played some great music in the late 50s and early 60s on WAVI. Back then, the station broadcast with 250 watts of power and was 'daytime' only. BW was 'initially yours'.
