 On Monday, January 27, 2003, WMBS flipped from its format of rock 'n roll oldies to its present nostalgia format.Jack McMullen, one of WMBS' pioneers, who completed an 18-year stint with the station beginning in 1945, died in a hit-and-run vehicle-pedestrian accident on West Main Street in Uniontown.Though McMullen underwent surgery to repair two broken legs and his right arm, his condition swiftly declined.
