The magnificent Bill Cunningham (aka “Willie”) was sitting in for Levin yesterday evening. Willie was using “The HTM”...Hate Trump Media.

In 1987 I was driving up I-71 while relocating for a new job with General Electric - Aircraft Engines in Cincinnati. I was listening to 700 AM WLW which I had done for many years previous - Cincinnati Reds got started. A new guy was on the air - someone who was very brash - someone named Bill Cunningham. Spent many years with him, the Truckin' Bozo Summers or as he called him, the "bodo", The SEGMan Dennison, Andy MacWilliams, Bob Trumpy, and Gary Burbank. Good memories.

By the way, I understand Cunningham got his start at WLW because of a bet. He was an attorney who represented some on-air talent, and he claimed he could do a better job. So WLW gave him a shot and the rest is history.

Cunningham's eulogy for the Trucking Bozo.

Sorry for the rabbit trail.
