Wolfman Returns from the Dead

If WCBS-FM can return from the dead, why not Wolfman Jack?  About 7 p.m. this evening, we were stunned to hear the Wolfman returning to the airwaves sounding well for his condition on the also-recently-resurrected New York oldies giant.  This prompted several rounds of "isn't he dead" and "how old must he be"...  But a quick check to Wikipedia confirmed the Wolfman's demise on July 1, 1995.  So what is going on -- is it a rebroadcast of a classic program -- are they using classic Wolfman clips as intros and outros on a mock-Wolfman program -- or have they hired a replacement Wolfman????  At first an online search yeilded little chatter on the subject, execpt a few back and forths on Radio Info Boards discussing a new Sunday evening New York Radio Greats program on WCBS-FM, playing classic radio broadcasts from their rich archives.
Sadly the Weekly World News folded print publication just a few days too early for what could have been one of their greatest scoops, Wolfman Returns From the Dead in New York City.
