Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Bostons radio history begins with pioneering station 1XE/WGI, one of Americas first radio stations, and includes the first station to receive a commercial license, WBZ; the first FM radio network, W1XOJ and W1XER; and one of the first news networks, the Yankee News Service. Nationally known bandleaders like Joe Rines and Jacques Renard were first heard on Boston radio, as was one of the first weathercasters, E. B. Rideout. The city has been home to a number of legendary announcers, such as Bob and Ray, Arnie Ginsburg, Dick Summer, Dale Dorman, and Charles Laquidara; talk show giants like Jerry Williams and David Brudnoy; and sports talkers like Eddie Andelman and Glenn Ordway. Many Boston radio personalities, such as Curt Gowdy, Big Brother Bob Emery, Don Kent, and Louise Morgan, found fame on television but first established themselves on Bostons airwaves. Since 1920, Boston radio has remained vibrant, proving that live and local stations are as important as ever.
