In the summer of 1968, J. Michael Wilson was flying high as the morning man at WKNR. But his greatest success lay ahead.

After two years at WKNR, Wilson was headed to the legendary CHUM, where he would spend two-and-a-half years in afternoon drive. Wilson, whose career began KATI Casper, Wyoming in 1961, would spend 32 years in radio with stops that included such biggies as WMEX, WGR, CKFH and WRC. Tagging along was his loyal sidekick, Rodney the Rodent, who doesn't appear on this aircheck but was prominent during his Wilson's time on CHUM.
