Split personalities? Not really.... they're one and the same. Like Bobby Mitchell
who once left WRKO and returned later as Frank Kingston Smith (his real
name), Bambi (her real name) did the same.
After J. J. Jordan hired her (for overnights), she first modulated WRKO's
carrier as Melody from April, 1976 to March 10, 1978. When she returned
to the air on March 31, 1980, she did so as Bambi.
Here's how Bambi tells it...
"Melody McShane was used when I first came to WRKO. J. J. Jordan, had that
name prepared for me to use when I came from St. Louis. For the majority
of my career, I used Bambi Salzberg, from my first radio position at the
campus radio station at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, then
WCHL-AM, Chapel Hill, WDNC-AM-FM, Durham, NC, at (what was then) KSLQ-FM
in St. Louis, then to WRKO as Melody, then back to Bambi at WRKO. I also
worked as Bambi Salzberg at WHDH-AM Boston."
"I'm married now, and worked at WCVE-TV, Richmond, and most recently as
"B" Jones at all news 990, WVNZ-AM, Richmond. Thus ends the saga!"
