I don’t thing Bill Barber was on WLOF 95AM. He was on WBJW 105.1
Hi, Bill worked the evening shifts when I was in high school. Check out his bio at http://cflradio.net/Bill_Barber_Bio.htm He was just a kid, younger than I was at the time!
Yes, Bill Barber was there, mid-late 60’s into early 70’s – he would later work at both BJ-105 and K-92.
