1964 - WIOD advertisement for 'Big' Wilson temporarily trading places with Larry King on 610-AM radio

Miami, Florida


Thank you to Bruce Hirsh for contributing this great advertisement in the Miami News for 'Big' Wilson temporarily trading positions with Larry King who later went on to great prominence on radio and television. Larry King transitioned from hosting a WIOD show, to hosting the overnight show on the Mutual Broadcasting System from Arlington, Virginia in 1978.

Please see Jeff Lemlich's great blog site at: http://saysix.blogspot.com/2009/01/really-big-show.html for more information about 'Big' Wilson and videos of him, along with many other WCIX Channel 6 staffers over time on the right side of the blog page. 'Big' Wilson passed away from a heart attack in 1989 in Salem, North Carolina.
