FROM THE ARCHIVES: the lost Loane tapes

My look through the WDWS archives was complete...or so I thought.

Tucked away in the bomb shelter (no, really) at the old WDWS radio center on South Neil was a box of dozens of cassette tapes chronicling Dave Loane's sports career in the 1990s. Play-by-play, interviews, press conferences, you name it.

For the longest time, I thought...I'm not going to digitize these. It will take too long. But curiosity got the best of me. So, I've chosen my favorite tapes. Enjoy this step back in time, and if you can ID any of the voices, e-mail me at tditman@wdws.
