Danny Stiles ( at one time known as "Katman" ) was a staple on WNJR-1430 in the 1960's. Before that IIRC he was heard on WOV-1280 before that became WADO. He was also heard on the old WHBI on FM which I think was 105.5. R & B was his staple, and as time went on he also did Oldies from the 1940's and 50's.
His was one of the first radio shows I recall from when I started DX'ing back in the early 1960's. For anyone on board who was a survey collector, Danny had one when he was on WNJR in the 60's.
