Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
David Sproul retired from WMAL & WRQX in 2014 after 41 years with the radio stations.
On this episode, David shares inside stories about what was happening behind the scenes at the radio stations.
Our conversation covers a range of fascinating topics, including the old NABET union, in which DJs weren't allowed to hit a record button or run their own board.
We also talk about the technical intricacies of the WRQX-EMF transition, the surprising news of the WMAL tower sale, and the subsequent challenges of moving WMAL to the new tower location.
We also talk about what was involved with getting 105.9 integrated into the cluster when ABC bought WJZW.
