Bob Dayton worked at WABC from 1963 until 1965.
Like Dan Ingram, he arrived at WABC from WIL in St. Louis
where he worked under the air name "Rockin' Robin Scott".
Bob did the midday show on WABC coming on after "The Breakfast Club" at 11AM
and preceding Dan Ingram who came on at 2 PM.
Known for his acerbic wit, Bob found himself at odds with WABC programming guru Rick Sklar on a number of occasions.
After WABC, Bob worked in Los Angeles at KRLA before returning to
New York City where he worked at both WPIX-FM and WCBS-FM.
