In 1965, he began his Jewish music radio program on WTEL in Philadelphia. The program soon moved to WQAL-FM, and in 1969 it moved again, to WIBF-FM. The show stayed at WIBF for 23 years until 1992 when it moved to WSSJ-AM in Camden, NJ. In 1998, the program moved to WNWR-AM in Philadelphia. In 2011 it moved back to its original station, now known as WWDB.
