RIP: Retired Radio Personality 'Dandy' Dan Daniel

One-time WMCA-AM "Good Guy" was 82.

Today’s edition of The Chris Daniel Show on Fresno, Calif. radio station KMJ 580 AM was very different from the norm. During the 2-to-6 p.m. PT program, the host engineer Philip Teresi conveyed memories of the host’s father, Dan Daniel, who passed away suddenly this morning at age 82.

From a report tonight by CBS New York:

Daniel, the self-described “world’s most adequate swinging disc jockey,” spent decades on New York radio stations beginning with WMCA in 1961.
