Loading... Please wait...If you're a true “radio guy (or gal),” there's a good chance this will become your most treasured video.
Chuck Blore arguably is the most successful radio program director in American history. When he programmed KELP/El Paso, he set an industry record by capturing 74% of the market's listeners.
From there, he jumped to KFWB/Los Angeles, where he launched the revolutionary "Color Radio" and — virtually overnight — achieved an incredible 47% market share (among some 60 stations).
A member of the Radio Hall of Fame and the Advertising Hall of Fame (remember the "Reach Out And Touch Someone" commercials?), Chuck Blore is a dyed-in-the-wool "radio guy."
Play this for your entire team. Play this for your radio buddies. View this DVD whenever you feel the need for fresh inspiration — and to remember why you got in this crazy business of radio in the first place.
