[AI-Generated Summary] In this February 1980 air check from AM 950 in Indianapolis, veteran broadcaster Joe Piggott (often known as Joe Pickett) navigates a snowy morning with a mix of local news, weather advisories, and his trademark wit. Piggott provides updates on a travelers advisory following four inches of snow and reviews the previous night’s NBA scores, noting a narrow 109–108 loss for the Indiana Pacers against the Philadelphia 76ers. Between tracks from artists like Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, and Frank Sinatra, he shares the humorous story of "desperado" Eddie David Luck, a burglary suspect who unsuccessfully attempted to escape through a ceiling and later tried to pass himself off as a maintenance man. The broadcast also includes a somber tribute to Jack Bailey, the longtime host of Queen for a Day, who passed away at age 72 on February 1, 1980. Peppered with local advertisements for Linda’s Dairy and Tarkington Tower, the segment captures the "personality radio" style that eventually earned Piggott a place in the Indiana Broadcast Hall of Fame.
