One of my favorite days: August 9, 1963. As always, WOWO and the little red barn woke me up that morning. Later that same day I was at Cold Springs Resort dance hall in Hamilton, Indiana listening and dancing to a new band called The Beach Boys! Each have stood the test of time

Many of us miss WOWO the way it was then. It’s nothing like the great radio station it once was. Nothing but talk radio now. AM stations have went by the wayside. Still exist, but obsolete. It’s too bad.

Either WOWO was billing millions upon millions a year, or Bob Sievers wasn't paid much. To survive that long at one station, the bean counters'd better be happy. Cuz if the bean counters ain't happy, ain't *nobody* happy.

Sievers was a humble man and you can tell he was just happy living his dream of being on the radio in the hometown that he loved. He had offers to work in bigger cities but turned them down. I would imagine that if he was making a decent living, he was satisfied. By this time, he had worked at Westinghouse for decades... he probably could have retired with a company pension, but enjoyed the job too much to leave. That being said, WOWO was huge in the Fort Wayne market. It had higher circulation than the three TV stations combined. I also think it was underwritten to some extent by the other top billing stations Group W owned in leading cities.

He was on the air in Feb.1971 when the Emergency Broadcast System put on the wrong tape...and everyone thought there was going to a nuclear attack. Bob stayed cool and calm on the radio...and finally told everyone to disregard the news bulletin...that it was a mistake!!! He did a great job!!!

I have many great stories about the WOWO air staff, probably the best being that 5 years or so after Chris Roberts declared that I was nuts for wanting to be in radio, he hired me at his stations. He's been a great friend of mine and mentor ever since. In that time I've had privilege to be on air in Columbus, Ohio and Chicago, Illinois. I've always been mindful to follow the example of the WOWO guys who inspired me. What a privilege to have grown up listening to them and then getting to know them over the years.
