One of the radio stations I had a strong musical influence on was WAYV FM, 95.1 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I sailed through four years there between 1977 - 1980. Here's one of the "Rhythm of South Jersey" newsletters profiling the WAYV FM 95.1 on-air staff.
Much more about the WAYV staff below. Guess what? I have lots you'll discover from my appearance on this episode of Black Authors TV. If you miss it live, there will be a video replay.
My paperback, eBook, and audiobook memoir Powerhouse Radio: Rough Roads, Radiance, and Rebirth; My True AM - FM - Satellite - And Audio Streaming Survival Story, plus much more, will be in the spotlight.
There's more to my story. After on-air jobs at a couple of other South Jersey stations, it was on to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love!
