Editing J. P. McCarthy (section)

==Sojourn in San Francisco==
WJR did not pay particularly well, and J.P. was offered the opportunity to do commercials for [[Stroh's]], the top brewery in Detroit. Station management would not allow it, and after some discussion McCarthy left Detroit for [[KGO (AM)|KGO]] in [[San Francisco]]{{when|date=June 2023}}, where he took the morning show from #6 to #3.

In 1964, Goodwill Stations sold WJR to Capital Cities Broadcasting and the president, Dan Burke, asked station manager [[James Quello|Jim Quello]] why they lost McCarthy. After explaining the situation, Quello re-recruited McCarthy to return to WJR, with a raise and the right to do commercials for anybody he wanted. J.P. returned to WJR in December 1964.
