Episode 8
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
In the 1970's, 80's and 90's, there was a great CHR radio station in Frederick called Z104.
Kemosabi Joe was the Program Director and did mornings in the 1970s and 1980s.
On this episode, we discuss how Joe made a small radio station sound so big.
Some of the topics we cover during this episode:
The secret that made Z104 such a great radio station
Why Joe liked to recycle DJ names, somebody would leave, and he would give the new person the old person's name.
How Z104 was a launching ground for new DJ's, and a temporary home when someone in DC or Baltimore would lose their job.
Christmas Cash For Kids - A fundraiser that Z104 did every year for 20 years.
We also talk about the jingles Z104 used.
Where Joe went after Z104, and what he's doing today.
