WSBA MYTHS AND LEGENDS

I believe his name was Len Willinski.  When Bob Brooks was doing 7-Midnight, he used to talk about his wierd Uncle Leonard from Willinski Ohio.  I believe Markham did the news on his shift.

you are correct bossjock....also, Bob Brooks was a pretty good personality.  I thought he was waisted on 7 to midnight. should have  been afternoon drive.

I agree loeper.  He was a real pro.  Moved on to the Seattle market.  From what I recall, you were on the FM in the pre-WARM days.  You would have worked out quite well in a prime WSBA slot.

I seem to recall they finally did move Bob to daytime, noon to 4 I think, before he left to go to Seattle.  Bob was not a disc jockey.  He was a personality. He would have fit in very well with the kind of personalities WSBA had during its Top 40 days.

Bob worked in the same building with me at Fisher Broadcasting in Seattle from 2007-2009. He was handling production for KING-FM and I was an anchor for sister station KOMO. One of the funniest and creative talents in the business, in my humble opinion.

As a footnote, it is interesting to note the number of WSBA alums who ended up in Seattle Radio. Me and Bob, and his former wife Lisa (Silberman) Brooks, and probably others as well.
