Radio - What Happened?
A look at the rise and fall of commercial radio, seen from the eyes of two baby boomers. Terry Bettis and Jim Christoferson both worked in local radio for years, in small to large markets. Their experience allows others to see what they see -- a virtual WKRP in every market across the country. Personalities, promotions, formats, actual air checks of the nation's top radio stations of the last 60 years -- all facets are talked about, listened to, and discussed in this weekly podcast.

Episode #39: Rest In Peace: Jim Christoferson

Today, we give you the sad news that my podcast partner, friend and business associate - Jim Christoferson - has passed away. Jim suffered from pulminary fibrosis, and it had gotten progressively worse over the past 6 months. We all thought he would beat it. In fact, that was his mantra -- "I'm gonna beat it." But, unfortunately, we got the call on Tuesday, April 30th that the disease had won. I'm not sure what the future holds for this podcast - if we continue, it will certainly be different. But, we had lots of plans for the future, things we wanted to discuss, guests we wanted to have on, etc. We'll see. It'll be hard to do it without Jim. Rest in peace, my friend.
