Berry's morning show on Mad Radio 13—as it was known at the time—consistently dominated ratings in the Baltimore market.

  By 1974, he had also returned to DJing in nightclubs and played and programmed music in a variety of nightclubs as he toured along the East Coast.
  In 1975, while performing at Emerson's Restaurant in downtown Baltimore, he was presented with a proclamation by then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer naming White The Evening Mayor of Baltimore, in appreciation of his contributions to bringing nighttime business back into Baltimore's downtown.
