Wasn't Scotty Brink also on WNBC for a while in the late 70's after they fired Imus and before they brought him back? If memory serves me right, he was teamed with Richard Belzer, and weren't they called Brink & Belzer?
Yes. Scotty was teamed with Belzer, a stand-up comedian on WNBC in 1978. They replaced Ellie Dylan, who had taken over the morning show when Bob Pittman took over programming the station the year before. Dylan was also Pittman's girlfriend at the time.
Funny thing, I just looked up Scotty Brink in 440 Satisfaction to verify the years and it doesn't even have WXLO listed as one of his stations!
