Chansky’s Notebook: Wide World of Sports

Posted Apr 23, 2025
Jim Lampley’s memoir is out, and it really did happen. We had the official launch party Tuesday night at the Chapel Hill Country Club for Lampley’s new book IT HAPPENED. And for the listeners and readers who weren’t there, allow me to tell you how it did happen. Jim and I were at UNC together in the early 1970s, me as a J-school major and Jim in RTVMP.
