Harv Moore 'The Boy Next Door' is a native of Pelham, New York but came to WPGC from Frankfort, Kentucky in March of 1963. Initially, he did nights till sign-off but within a few months was moved to mornings when Jerry G left for KYW in Cleveland, starting just days before the tragic JFK assassination.

Harv was also Program Director when Dean Griffith (Dean Anthony) left in 1964 for WMCA in NY until the arrival of Cousin Warren Duffy in 1966. He also served as Music Director from 1971 when Davy Jones left for WMAL-FM but was promoted to Program Director again in 1972 when big Wilson vacated the position.

Harv continued in mornings until early in 1975 when he accepted an offer from former WPGC General Manager, Bob Howard to do mornings in Buffalo at WYSL. Today, Harv is retired in Buffalo.

This aircheck begins with another in a long line of on air contests, this time the 'Cash Kick Off' with $50 up for grabs, coinciding with the resumption of football in the fall. Contestants had to correctly predict the pre-determined outcome of what a fictious ball carrier would gain on the play. Voiced by Harv impersonating Howard Cosell, the pre-recorded play-by-play had possible outcomes of 25, 50, 75, 100 or no yards at all.

Harv not only did impersonations but had a cast of character voices at his disposal including the Southern gentleman, 'The Colonel', the lightheaded but well meaning, 'Kay Sera', the wise cracking youngster, 'Orville', the not quite yet senile, 'Gramps' and 'Tonto' his faithful Indian companion. Occasionally, unnamed characters would also appear on the show as was the case on this morning. Listen for Harv's 'tailor made suit' comedy bit in which he interplays with pre-recorded elements. He also mentions wearing a WPGC Music Troll T-Shirt.

Station positioners in use at the time included 'Solid Rock Stereo 95' (a claim that WRC on AM couldn't make) and 'All Hit Music'.
