JERRY STEVENS kept things interesting at yesterday's Broadcast Pioneers luncheon at the Bala Golf Club, serving on a panel of former personalities from WIBG-AM, better known as Wibbage.

Two guests report that Stevens seemed drunk and disruptive, stepping on his colleagues' lines and acting boorish during a group discussion about WIBG glory days that also included Don L. Brink (aka Scotty Brink), Rod Carson, Frank X. Feller, Ray Gilmore (aka Sean Casey), Dean Tyler and Bill Wright Sr.

It was moderated by Sam Lit, son of the late legend Hy Lit. "Jerry was not a disruption. Jerry was just being Jerry," Lit told us yesterday, pointing out that it was the most well-attended luncheon the group has held.

"He did have a little more than he should have to drink," admits Pat Delsi, treasurer and past president of the Broadcast Pioneers. "He was trying to be funny. For the most part, 99 percent of what he did was enjoyable, but he went a little overboard in interrupting," Delsi said. He said that overall Stevens "didn't disrupt the program; it was comical."

Our efforts to reach Ste- vens yesterday were unsuccessful.

The next Broadcast Pioneers luncheon, on June 17, will honor one of its Hall of Fame members, late Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas. Tickets are $25 and available by calling 856-365-5600.

Yesterday we mentioned that Matthews, whose band plays the Susquehanna Bank Center Sept. 22 and 23, had dined Saturday at Barclay Prime (237 S. 18th).
