Cordic was born in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh and attended Central Catholic High School. He started in radio as a staff announcer and substitute sportscaster at WWSW-AM.[1] When morning host Davey Tyson left the station in 1948, Cordic was one of a number of staffers given the opportunity to replace him. At first a straightforward announcer, Cordic began introducing comedy to his program—first in subtle ways, such as reading a sports score for "East Overshoe University" along with the real scores, and later by adding a repertory company of supporting comic characters. The morning show, renamed Cordic & Company, became the most popular in Pittsburgh. In 1954, Cordic & Company moved to KDKA (AM) on Labor Day, one of the first times that an American radio station had hired a major personality directly from a local competitor. Popular Bette Smiley had decided to retire from her full-time KDKA wake-up show Radio Gift Shoppe of the Air and move to a Sunday-only condensed version on WCAE in August 1954 in order to raise her young son Robbie. Cordic's immediate predecessor in the morning slot was the Ed and Rainbow show, featuring Ed Schaughency with Elmer Waltman cast in the role of Rainbow, the janitor. Waltman was dropped, and Schaughency was moved to the afternoon with a show called Schaughency's Record Cabinet. Schaughency lasted less than two years in that role before he was replaced by Art Pallan, who also came over from WWSW. Schaughency took on a new role as a news reader and moved back to mornings, delivering the newscasts during Cordic & Company. The show's ratings continued to grow until, at some points, it had an 85 share—meaning that 85% of all radios in Pittsburgh were tuned to Cordic & Company while it was on. By the end of his tenure in Pittsburgh, Cordic was reportedly earning $100,000 a year, a huge sum for a radio host at the time.

Rest in Peace
for Rest in Peace in THE TRANSFORMERS 1986 MOVIE: THE REMAKE
Suggested by enzotakerian
This movie will be a remake of the 1986 cult classic. It will have CGI animation, improved sound effects, and additional scenes that were not in the final cut, like Devastator entering the main hallway of the Autobot control center and Ultra Magnus and a few Bots fending him off. I also think some scenes could be rewritten while still being loyal to the original story. I thought it could show Wheeljack and Windcharger in their final moments and the battle of Autobot City will have the other Con combiners and it will show how they got away. Same goes for the Aerialbots and Protectobots. There could also be a scene where the Autobots will have a wake of their fallen allies including Optimus Prime. It will also have Skywarp and Thundercracker having more screen time before they get injured and jettisoned into space. It will also show that it was Skywarp who became Cyclonus. Some Autobots could also stay behind on Earth and hold down the fort. Some of the original voice actors can also reprise their roles (Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and Frank Walker as Megatron) and some could be replaced (Dwayne Johnson as Cliffjumper and Frank Todrano or Steve Blum as Starscream). And maybe an epilogue will show the Quintessons saying they must destroy their creations: the Transformers themselves.
