@robbiesyohn WGCL flipped to classic rock as WNCX in Oct. 1986. 98.5 is still WNCX to this date. WQAL had a beautiful music format until 1990 when they switched to CHR. If you search "WGCL 1986" there is an aircheck from about a month before they flipped to WNCX.
First we listened to CKLW AM out of Michigan before FM was a thing, then G98 FM for a short time when FM kicked in, then 100.7 WMMS The Buzzard from day one and many years after, till I think they went off the air around the early 90's, then listened to 98.5 WNCX classic rock which was old WMMS music and Howard Stern. Then one day I couldn't listen to classic rock anymore. Around 4pm they played like 3 second clips of a song, and you had to call in and guess the name of the song. I nailed it everyday, and it drove me nuts the people who didn't know, but we didn't have a phone at the time, and I went back to WMMS and have been there ever since.
Recent Comments: thomesocksup (10 months ago) I so agree. I loved Uncle Vic. I thought he had the sexiest voice. Boy was I disappointed when I saw the guy for the first time on The ghoul show. But I also liked Dancin' Danny. matchgame35 (1 year ago) That was an awesome radio station!
Lmao... I bet you were disappointed to say the very least when you seen Uncle Vic ! I lived in Elyria, Ohio and we would party at Uncle Vics night club and Big Dicks night club. I went to Big Dicks more.
