MAILBAG: Attention Pittsburgh Area Jocks Past and Present

The following came in Thursday afternoon. If you fit the description, email PBRTV and we’ll get you in touch with John! 

Hi Eric,

My name is John Semple. I live up in Erie and I host a rock show on a small radio station (96.7 WFSN-LP) in Union City in southern Erie County.

I have been to your site many many times over the years.

I am contacting you to see if you could possibly help me. On my show I am going to be doing a special on a former local band named Friction. They were quite popular in the 80s and early to mid 90s. They played all over PA, NY, OH, DE, WV, VA, DC , etc. They had several songs on radio stations over the years even though they never had a recording contract. Songs such as Rockin’ Tonight, Babytalk, Wave Goodbye to a Friend and several more. I need help finding a couple DJs from the Pittsburgh area that would have played them on the radio. Names and email address would be wonderful. If you could be any help to me I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.

John
