Fred shares the secret to his long-running success: keeping radio live, local, and deeply connected to the community.
Fred talks about recruiting DC radio legend Jack Diamond for mornings on 106.9 The Eagle and hiring a young Ron Ross decades ago, later bringing him back for afternoons on KEY 103.
He also tells the behind-the-scenes story of selling his stations to Nassau Broadcasting—and repurchasing them when Nassau went bankrupt a few years later.
Fred talks about how he’s using HD signals and translators to build new locally programmed stations, plus how he’s expanding into on-demand audio with a growing podcast network.
