WNIC 100.3: FROM THE PROGRAMMER. A STAFF MEMO
A MCRFB NOTE
JIM FELICIANO
A typical staff memo, from the desk of Joel Lind, WNIC programmer (1986-1988)
Revamping the weekend scheduling
Johnny Williams joined the airstaff in late 1985, having replaced Renee Greenwood, interim host to WNIC’s ‘Pillowtalk.’ For several weeks, Greenwood temporarily replaced Alan Almond after he left WNIC for WMJC in November 1985.
In this memo, Renee Greenwood’s “Saturday Night Rendezvous” program was added to Saturday nights, retaining the “Pillowtalk” hours, 7-12 M. As the memo suggests, “Pillowtalk” music (now with Johnny Williams) was to be heard across the Detroit airways — 7 nights a week.
While I was employed there (1983-1987), Jim Harper, morning host and program director at WNIC, left for WDTX 95.5 in July 1986. Joel Lind, replacing Harper, was hired as WNIC station programmer in May, 1986.
This was the weekend schedule. As mandated by the program director. Over 31 years ago on 100.3 WNIC . . . ‘Detroit’s Nicest Rock’

WARMEST WISHES… HAPPY BIRTHDAY! TOM SHANNON
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOM SHANNON!
*****
A Detroit radio and television broadcast legend, his voice has been heard for four decades on numerous great Detroit radio stations, such as CKLW, WJBK, WXYZ, WCAR, WMJC, WTWR, CKMR, and WCXI.
He formally began his illustrious radio career as a news person, while in his teens, in Buffalo in 1955. He left Buffalo’s WKBW for CKLW in Windsor in December 1964, replacing Terry Knight.
After 50 years in radio (and television) after having been in multiple radio markets around the country, Tom Shannon retired from broadcasting radio in 2005. Tom’s last DJ stint was on WHTT-FM, Buffalo. He was 67.
He is a member of the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall of Fame and Buffalo Music Hall of Fame.

In observation of his 80th birthday, Saturday, August 11, 2018, today, Motor City Radio Flashbacks extends warmest birthday wishes to Tom Shannon! 🙂
