I think what the most interesting thing about working with the guys that I do in this business of broadcasting is the experience. More so, it’s not the technical knowledge. The life experiences of these guys are not to be missed. Stories of growing up with one TV station. Two radio radio stations on the dial. Top 40 on the AM. It’s just the way life is and always will be. Times change, and people are different.
The broken record spins like it always does with history repeating itself. I look at people a few years younger than me and compare how my life was to theirs. The differences are always there. What we have today isn’t what I had in my day. Push it even further to my nephews and nieces and those times look even more strange. How different their lives will be.
I grew up with four TV stations. On days that I was sick and unable to go to school, I would watch public television all day, because, quite frankly, the soaps sucked. I don’t know how many radio stations I had, but I feel in love with that box. Look where it got me today…
