Perry Moore Biography
WDBO WCKS WHOO WGTO WMMA
Perry was the top rated morning jock at WDBO for 14 years. From 1970 until 1984 he headed a lineup which included Jim Turner, (on in the afternoons then), Clive Thomas and Morton
Downey, Jr. In 1985 Perry, under the pseudonym Mel Burns, would do afternoons at then
WCKS-FM 101.1. Perry would join WHOO-AM
990 when it made the switch from country to big bands as WMMA-AM
990 in 1985, but would not attain the same success as he did at WDBO. In 1987 Perry would leave WMMA and go to
WWLV-FM 94.5 in Daytona Beach. Perry died of heart failure in 1995 at age 50. Photo courtesy Dave Edwards
