590 MIGHTY MEMORY #144

GEORGE GILBERT 
NOON 'TIL 3, IT WAS DOUBLE G 

George Gilbert was the main stay of The Mighty 590. Gilbert was there almost from the first day. Gilbert was working at WIBG in Philly when WARM came a calling in the late 50s. His on air career spanned the 60s, 70s, the 80s and even the early 90s on WARM. He was the voice WARMlanders knew. 
It was Gilbert as Program Director who spearheaded the many promotions WARM ran. He later did a stint in Williamsport, worked a year or two in sales and then returned to the airwaves in the 1990 when he and Ron Allen did a return to WARMland music show back to back. Just like the old days. 
But Gilbert is best remembered for those early, upbeat broadcasts that made the Double G show a must hear affair in this market. Here's a sample.
