in Apple Bites (February, 2001):
-
"In what has to be the most
intelligence-challenged move of the month, Jammin 105 (WTJM 105.1) program
director Joel Salkowitz has fired night guy Famous
Amos. ... Replacing Famous Amos on a permanent basis is going to
be a tough job. Famous was just one of those disc jockeys who made his
show special. He managed to let his personality shine through even within
the confines of a tight format. He was fun to listen to and he always gave
us our 'dime's worth.' Famous tells Apple Bites that he already
has some things in the works ... Thank Heaven there are still some programmers
out there who recognize talent."

"One thing I can say without
reservation is that there is nothing in radio Famous
Amos can't do better than just about anyone else."

listeners!"

Dennis Winslow,

Steve O’Brien,

have fit well back in the WABC heyday."
|
Jon Wolfert,

-
"Gee, a guy who seems to
be having fun on the air and actually injects a bit of personality into
the format. What a concept!"
|
Mitch Lebe,
WBBR/New York anchor:
-
"Broadcasters such as Famous
