History
WOND is one of the Atlantic City market's legacy radio stations, first signing on the air in July 1950 as a network affiliate of ABC Radio.
In the 1960s, it was a Top 40 radio station, and its morning show was hosted by Bob Weems, one of the area's best-remembered DJs. The station was home to the long-running Pinky's Corner, hosted by Seymour "Pinky" Kravitz. The show called WOND home for 57 years before his retirement and death in 2015.[2]
TV journalist Jessica Savitch began her career as a teen DJ on a show called Teen Talk in 1962.[3] She used "Wild Weekend" as a theme song. She called herself "Wonda" for a short time. The station also launched the career of Tom Lamaine, long-time radio personality at WIP in Philadelphia and then at KYW-TV.
"First Lady of the Airwaves" Barbara Altman also broadcast her weekday call-in show Barbara Altman's Front Porch from WOND for decades.[4]
