Even got written up and wrist slapped in Crain's Cleveland Business over it! Lots of great years in Cleveland, miss it much and get back whenever I can.....you can now hear me as the new "Scoop Scoop Yum Yum" guy for Ruggles Ice Cream.

Not that Raycom would sell WUAB, but a Channel 43/61 combo would be interesting. One station could offer current syndicated programming, while the other could offer classic programs. It would even be interesting to see some of the old Super Host and Ghoul programs from years ago.firebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535778545290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943321092483498805.post-5639048919031818572007-09-13T09:10:00.000-04:002007-09-13T09:10:00.000-04:00I'm not so sure Raycom bought WOIO in '96, I belie...I'm not so sure Raycom bought WOIO in '96, I believe it was 2-3 years later.
