WHAM @ 100: An Oral History

Former WHAM DJ and General Sales Manager Dan Guilfoyle passed away on June 5, 2023.

To honor our friend an colleague, we share with you the last music show Dan hosted on WHAM - March 2, 1991

Danny loved music and this is the best way we know to celebrate his life.

We've spent the past year looking back on the people, stories and sounds of WHAM's past.

We conclude the series with a look at our present - and peer into the future - with iHeart Radio Chairman and CEO, Bob Pittman

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

A special holiday treat with this OPEN LINE show - with Jack Slattery and George Haefner - not heard since it was originally aired on Christmas Day in 1972.

In radio, one group of people have the task of saying station call letters dozens of times a day. They're known as signature voices. And it's a very select group of performers and producers who take on the task of marketing a radio station to its own audience. From how they sound to the attitude behind their performances, signature voices have long been part of radio's sonic landscape. We'll tip the cap to 2 of those signature voice performers from WHAM's past and introduce you to Vistor Lisle - the man behind WHAM's current signature sound.

Catching up with 2 of WHAM's alumni - one who had a full career in the military before becoming one of WHAM's "oldest rookies" - and another who knew getting the story was what she wanted to do ever since she was in high school. WHAM stories from Gary Tschaepe and Kelly Short (Badger)

A little Christmas snack for this week's bonus. Not sure why they were singing, but some of your favorite WHAM personalities belted out songs of the season in 1995. See how many voices you can identify.

She was with WHAM for only a year - and now she talks sports nationwide. Amy Lawrence fills us in on her start in radio and the path that brought her all the way to New York City.

Though he was only with WHAM for about a decade, he left his mark - with music, sports and a generosity of spirit.
