NOTE: Charlie & Harrison were not well received after replacing Dale Dorman in morning drive and soon returned to San Diego. Dorman moved to WVBF-FM in morning drive where he stayed until 1980, when he went to afternoon drive at WXKS (Kiss-108). He is still there. WRKO switched to a talk format in September, 1981. Ironically, that's the very format they abandoned 14 1-2 years earlier!
