WRON-AM went on the air in May of 1947. Just prior to our 40th anniversary in 1987, Mike Kidd interviewed WRON founder, Bill Blake.
The subject was the early history of our radio station and the people who worked here. We have never aired this entire interview but have now decided to make it available here on the our website for those who might be interested.
The interview is audio only and is in Windows Media format. You must have Windows Media player installed on your computer to listen.
We have broken the interview into 9 parts of various lengths with the subject indicated in the title. You can listen to as many as you want and in any order you want. Simply click on the titles on the list below to listen.
