Scott Fybush is reporting that the PA Association of Broadcasters will be giving its Radio Broadcaster of the Year award to Altoona’s Dick DiAndrea. DiAndrea, the WFBG-AM (1290) morning man, just marked 50 years on the air two days ago. He started out at Tyrone’s WTRN (1340) on May 1, 1960, then moved on to WFBG, WVAM (1430), WALY-FM (103.9) and back to WFBG.

Meanwhile DiAndrea’s former WALY partner, Roger Corey is headed to WBRX-FM (94.7) where he will co-host mornings.
