Bruce mentioned on his 11/14/2006 show (first segment) that in 1975 he replaced Dave Marish's show which was called Dave Marrish On-Call. Bruce stated that his show was called Bruce Williams On Call, which is in conflict with what the radio hall of fame website mentions. Should the article be changed?

I'm almost tempted to call 1-800-RADIO-97 to give a quick plug for this article, along with a legitimate question for Mr. Williams. Thoughts? SchuminWeb ( Talk) 02:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
That would be fun to hear, since I was able to contribute some to the article. I would still like to see more about Bruce's military service and something about how old he actually is. Stivo 04:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
there really isn't much known about Bruce Williams, I don't think anyone knows how old he is. And there isn't much information out there on the internet about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.238.242 ( talk • contribs)
Bruce mentioned that he shares a birthday with John Travolta the other day which is Feb 18. I don't know the year, but I'm guessing it's in the neighborhood of 1930 from some of the other history found on him. Stivo 13:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

His web site states he graduated high school in 1950. This would almost certainly mean he was born in 1932. http://www.brucewilliams.com/brucebio.htm. John celona 11:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh come, now. Maybe it's not necessarily a good measure that a person is EIGHTEEN, but they're almost certainly within two years of that, either side. Therefore, it's very safe to say Williams' birth year is between 1930 and 1934. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.1.120 ( talk • contribs)
There is a Money magazine article from January 1, 1996 that states Williams is 63 - meaning he would have turned 63 sometime during 1995, so he had to have been born in 1932.
"Maurice Tunick, Talknet creator and Executive Producer remembers the incident: “ "Bruce was critically injured and nearly clinically dead when he arrived at the Medical Center of Princeton. One week later he was back on the air from his hospital room and did his show from there for a week before he was released and originated his program from home for the next three months. We were told at the time this was the first national radio show to originate from a hospital.""
This contradicts the biography on Bruce's biography page that states it wasn't until 4 weeks after the crash that he was once again broadcasting. Bruce has also mentioned on his show that he was drifting in and out of consciousness for about a month after the crash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.44.37 ( talk) 12:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
