Back in a time when there were only 3 radio stations in Rochester, a college student named Mort Nusbaum hosted his first show on WHAM. That was 1935. Over the following decades, Mort would make a mark on radio, television and as a private entrepreneur. This interview, done for WPXN 1280AM by Dick Judge, is provided by the Rochester Radio Collection of St. John Fisher University and Media Transfer Service.

A staple of WHAM's daily program line-up was the game or quiz show. Cinderella Weekend was one of those shows. Women contestants would compete on the daily shows for a chance to return each Friday and try and win the weekly grand prize package. Mort Nusbaum is the host. The show originated from the WHAM studios at Rochester Radio City on Humbolt Street.

Barry Vee has always been on the radio. At least it seems that way. Over a career that's lasted nearly 50 years (and is still going), he's done just about every job there is to do at WHAM. And Barry continues to be the glue that holds our lineup together. In this episode he talks about how he got his first job in the business and what radio has meant to him.

Some rarely heard bits from the early years of the Rush Limbaugh Show. These "fake commercials" were often only heard by us at the station. A few of Rush's favorites from 1992.

For some, a passion will burn hot and fast - then fade - leaving room for something new. That's the best way to describe former WHAM sports reporters and talk show hosts Brad Davies and Dan Moriarty. Both love watching and talking about games and players. Both found radio to be the perfect outlet to have those conversations. But both would, eventually, leave the industry for other passions.

WHAM celebrates 100 years in 2022. Another community resource is also celebrating a century of service to Rochester this year. A special conversation with Bob Russell, President and CEO of the Rochester Hearing and Speech Center.

WHAM has long been a place were radio pros have wanted to work. In this episode, we'll hear how 2 veteran broadcasters - Todd Hallidy and Bud Lowell - came to be in the WHAM newsroom.

Continuing our conversation with WHAM's midday talk show host Bob Lonsberry. We pick up where we left off, in 1995, after Bob was given the chance to go from being the regular "fill in guy" to the ACTUAL guy who's been carrying on the conversations important to Rochester ever since.

Some seemingly minor decisions can have long lasting impacts. For Bob Lonsberry, there were 2 such decisions he had to make. And how he chose to make those decisions started him on a path that lead him to WHAM. In the first part of our conversation, Bob shares how he found his way to radio, journalism and, eventually, to Rochester.

More from Bob Matthews in this week's bonus episode. A few samples of his commentaries and some off the cuff sports stories - told only the way Bob can.
