Norm N. Nite (b. January 25, 1941), was born Norman Durma and is the author of the Rock On! series of books. Rock On is coined as the official encyclopaedia of rock and roll music. He has spent many years on radio stations such as WGAR-AM and WMJI-FM in Cleveland and WCBS-FM in New York City. During 1988 he narrated the radio program, Solid Gold Scrapbook.
In July of 2005 he started broadcasting live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on SIRIUS Satellite Radio Channel 5 (SIRIUS Gold, now known as Sirius XM 50s on 5), which is also available on channel 6005 on the Dish Network. His show had originally aired Wednesdays through Sundays, but in August 2006, he cut back his on-air schedule to every Friday through Sunday afternoons from 3-6 p.m. US Eastern time (12-3 p.m. Pacific time).
Currently, he airs Saturdays and Sundays at the same time, and he still presents "Remember Then", an hour dedicated exclusively to the music that was on the charts on the corresponding date during a designated year, mainly between 1956 and 1963. The "Remember Then" hour airs between 4-5 p.m. Eastern (1-2 p.m. Pacific) on Saturdays and Sundays.
Although he once split his time between New York City, New York and Cleveland,Ohio- he now lives in Cleveland full time.
