By the mid 1970s Big Jim was known as the announcer of John Cazana's Wide World of Wrestling, as well as being a very successful businessman. 

But did you know that Big Jim was on the original broadcast team at WIVK 860 back in 1953, along with Claude Tomlinson. 

This was a newspaper ad regarding WIVK launching onto the air back then. Jim Dick was good at utilizing media advertising from day one.
