Fascinating stuff, the real story of radio - then and now.
Radio was such an important part of my growing up and still is. I love the stories and old air checks! I worked for a WKRP styled talk radio station and had the wackiest crew ever. Thanks for the flood of memories, Terry & Jim. You’ve got my vote!
