I found this on wikipedia- In its early days, WEBN broadcast from a bright blue old house in Cincinnatis west-side Price Hill neighborhood, referred to on-air as Prices Mountain. Anyone, at anytime, 24 hours a day, could visit the station and walk right into the studio/home and watch on-air personalities broadcast their programs. Visitors were separated from station personnel by Plexiglas panels, but could walk through the premises, nonetheless. The house wasnt hard to spot - it had what appeared to be a cocker spaniel sitting in an old barbershop chair on the front porch. The taxidermied dog had been Frank Wood Sr.s pet, named Miles Duffy. Wood, being basically a one-man show when he began the station, decided to name Miles Duffy as the stations Program Director to give the impression that WEBN had more employees than just himself. This joke continued officially for some years even as the station continued to grow. Among that was the original air personalities that made WEBN 1 of a kind with jocks like Michael Bo Xanadu, Denton Marr, Tyrone Ty Williams, Tom McGreevey, Dave Howe, Geoffrey Geoff Nimmo, Russell Russ Mims, Chris Gray, Peter Wolf, Ginger Sutton, Brian ODonnell, Mary The Real Deal Peale, Jason Uncle Jay Gilbert, Rick Bird, Craig Kopp, Tom Sandman, Dick Findley, Eric Hauenstein, Don Goldberg, and Miss Juanita Butterfly Johnson.
