Stepping Out of His Father’s Shadow, Chris Ingram Makes His Own Mark in Radio

If you listened to radio between the mid 1960s and 1970s, there’s a good chance you were tuned to WABC. Even more likely, Dan Ingram kept you company on many of those afternoons. He was a constant at Musicradio 77 for 21 years, ending with the station’s switch to a talk format in 1982.

During that time, Ingram became widely recognized as the greatest Top 40 disc jockey of all time.

He has nine children spanning three wives (now married for a fourth time).

One of “Big” Dan’s children is Chris, who remains the most connected to radio.
