I am the orginal author of this article. Another editor has pointed out some possible inconsistencies in some of the source material. I have attempted to clean up these inconsistencies by eliminating references to specific radio stations in the section on Beatles coverage. This editor has deleted the entire section on Beatles coverage multiple times, even though this section is a large part of what makes the subject a notable figure, and then accuses me of vandalizing the page when I re-post the amended section.

I deleted the section because it directly quoted a newspaper article that had an incorrect timeline to begin. Direct quoting of sources is a violation of copyright. Incorrect sources should be weeded out as references. Check [1] and [2] to see that the originally published timeline could not be correct. -- Elaich ^talk 18:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Here is a better timeline of Jim Stagg's career as evidenced by airchecks. [3]. As you can see, there is a gap of about a year between the last KYW aircheck, and the first WCFL one. Other sources have told me that Ken Draper went to WCFL about the first of June in 1965, and that Stagg was the first KYW DJ to follow him. Another story told was that after the FCC ordered KYW back to Philadelphia and WKYC was born, all contracts became void, and all KYW employees became free agents. This would also jibe with the approximate date of June 1. -- Elaich ^talk 03:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
