Thank you for making MCN and Pittsburgh Oldies Radio the
#1 DooWop Internet Radio Station in the World!
Featuring the radio legends of Pittsburgh:
Terry Lee and Porky Chedwick
A long long time ago, in a city made of steel, a disc jockey named Porky Chedwick began his radio career in a small town just outside of Pittsburgh. Through his talents, he discovered many great and memorable rhythm and blues artists and records in the 50s and played them for a captive audience that was starving for music they could call their own. Grateful teens tuned in to WAMO to hear Porky's dusty discs, and thousands attended the record hops where he appeared throughout Western Pennsylvania. These young people have all grown up, but still remain Porky's "children."
From the hills of the Mon Valley, Terry Lee began playing his own unique style of music, gathering everything from 50's and 60's rock to the greatest local bands, and on to soulful ballads that would later become Music For Young Lovers. His female audience swooned over the romantic ballads and sexy voice, and his male audience awaited the next big hit so they could add it to their own record collection. As soon as they could drive, teens spent their nights at local parking spots listening to "The Magic of the TL Sound." Radio stations WESA, WARO, WMCK, and WIXZ, and night spots like the White Elephant, Redd's Beach, and the TL Nite Train attracted this new legion of local area teens to listen on their transistor radios or dance the night away to the music that would someday become reminiscent of their youth.
There may have been other disc jockeys on the radio, and others who have tried (and continue to try) to copy their voices, music, ideas, and format in the years that followed, but none have left the mark on Pittsburgh oldies radio, or continue to leave a lasting legacy like Porky and TL. From Bo Diddley to Wynonie Harris to the Flamingos to the Electrons, to the Racket Squad, Scott English, Jimmy Beaumont & the Skyliners, and so many others, the music of Pittsburgh has never been the same.
With smoke from the steel mills, echoes from the hills and valleys, captivating rivers, and a rich cultural heritage, Pittsburgh is unique among our country's cities, and its people demanded a sound they could call their own. The Pittsburgh Sound was created with a blending of two special talented disc jockeys, and because of the true loyalty and dedication of their wonderful fans, it developed into the phenomenon that remains even today. And now, with the wonders of modern technology, we are now able to broadcast Pittsburgh's greatest oldies all over the world on this Internet stream, with the originators, Porky Chedwick and Terry Lee, together for the first time, teaming up to bring you magic memories from a long time ago.
The Sound they created will last forever.
