PLEASE NOTE: Recently, some people have attempted to sell HistoryOfWOWO.com airchecks downloaded from our site. We could charge for these airchecks if we wanted to, but we have made every effort to make these files as open and user-friendly as possible. Many of these recordings require considerable time to obtain, restore and post. We only have one rule and that is DO NOT attempt to sell or otherwise profit from any material on this site.

02-21-1977, 5-7am	Bob Sievers, Dugan Fry, Jay Gould, Jim Schweickart, Jerry Hoffmann	58:37	Bob K writes: After 25 years in the Gaskings Building, WOWO moved to a new facility in the Central Building at 203 W. Wayne Street. The old building was dismal. It was dark, had no windows and the only way of knowing what the outside weather was like was to walk back to the “World Famous WOWO Fire Escape.” Nonetheless, 25 years of great radio magic came out of those makeshift studios. The new studios were only a block away, so on a Sunday night in February 1977, Public Affairs programs were played on tape from the WOWO transmitter building. The old studios went silent and piece-by-piece, all of the gear from the four studios and the newsroom were disconnected and moved over to the new building. Some pieces of equipment were moved by professionals and everything that could be carried was moved over by WOWO staff and their families, who volunteered to come down and work through the night and into the next morning to complete the project. Everyone was so happy to be out of the Gaskins Building that we had no problem getting volunteers to help. It became a party atmosphere, as we were thrilled to move into a brand-new sparkling clean building, with windows everywhere. The spirits of radio past, in the Gaskins Building, must have sensed our leaving and rebelled by causing some of the equipment to refuse to go off, after wires to their power had been clipped. This almost caused us to miss our Monday 5am sign on, but thanks to the diligent efforts of everyone who volunteered, and especially the engineering staff of Billy Wolfe, Steve Moreen and others we just made it. This is an actual over-the-air recording of Bob Siever’s first sign-on from the new studios: the first “Little Red Barn” show, Bob's first Police Calls, and the first walk out to the barn from the new studios. Aircheck courtesy of Bob K.
