While growing up in Miami Beach Florida, in 1974 I aquired a very large mutiband radio. The range on the AM dial was very broad and I began to pickup radio stations from other states after sunset. This became a hobby of mine and I soon had a list of stations I'd listen to several nights a week and into the early morning hours. Stations such as WCBS in New York City, WWL in New Oreleans, KDKA In Pittsburg, WHAS in Louieville, WSB in Charllote, WBZ in Boston, WSB in Atlanta, WHO in Des Moines, WLS in Chicago and of course WOWO in Ft. Wayne. I'd listen to Bob Sievers in the early morning hours giving the local weather report for the Ft.Wayne area and it would always make me feel as if I were living up in Indiana instead of tropical Miami Beach. His unique down to earth style of broadcasting made it a pleasure to listen to this man as he'd report the local school closings because of snow or report the lastest tornado warning during the spring and summer months. Of course the local news from the Ft Wayne area was also very interesting for a guy like me listening from down in Sunny Miami Beach Florida back in the mid and late 1970s. Being a 50,000 watt clear channel station, sometimes WOWO would come in load and clear. I had no idea he had passed away until I found WOWOs web sight today. R.I.P. Bob
