Introduction: It Must Be Magic
Radio has always been something very special to me. As far back as I can remember, I've always known the call letters and format of every station that could be received in my home townas well as the name and voice of every announcer.
My first job in radio came in 1967, but it was much earlier that the love affair began. It was in the mid-fifties when I was five years old that I first noticed something that struck me as amazing: it was done without wires. The radio signal actually passed through the air from the station to my home. Magic, I thought. From that time on, every available moment was spent with my new best friend, the radio. Even as a small child, I was already beginning to study the techniques of announcing, deejay chatter, comedy, news reporting and writing, and the composition of radio commercials.
