\nDIAL GLOBAL BECOMES WESTWOOD ONE<\/span><\/b> As we recently report in JRRR, Cumulus buys Dial Global for $260 million. Syndicator Dial Global\u2019s racehorses include the NFL, NCAA and NASCAR also talk show host Dennis Miller. CEO Paul Caine admits the name Dial Global tends to draw blank looks<\/i>. Before he assumes the role of Dial Global CEO, Caine is chief revenue officer of Time Incorporated magazine publisher. Since the 1970’s, Westwood One is a huge brand in radio. What a small world! In 2011, that is the radio network with which Dial Global merges. Caine sighs: Having to explain who we are sometimes creates a level of what I would call friction. We haven\u2019t had a strong calling card, coming in, of who we were. That\u2019s why, as of today, Dial Global is renaming itself Westwood One<\/i>. <\/span>
\n 
\nIS IT THE END OF THE TRAIL FOR RADIO DISNEY?<\/span><\/b> Variety reports that Disney has a for sale sign posted at seven of its medium market radio stations. Two of Radio Disney’s radio stations on sale both go dark. Radio Disney notifies the FCC that KPHN-1190 Kansas City, MO and KDIS FM (99.5) Little Rock, AR both suspend operations. Could a previous owner return to the Little Rock market? In 2002, Loretta Lever sells KYFX FM to Disney for $2.56 Million but then takes Disney to court to have the sale overturned<\/i>. On July 31, 2013 Lever, who operates KYFX FM as Urban AC (Foxy 99.5<\/i>) until 2003, registers www.foxy995.com<\/a><\/span><\/b>. One of the Disney radio stations up for sale in TX is KRDY-1160 San Antonio. <\/span>

\nBARRETT GETS NO MONEY<\/span><\/b> In 1959, Motown pianist and singer, Barrett Strong, keeps us moving and grooving with his hit tune Money (That\u2019s What I Want)<\/i>. On the lawn outside Motown Records\u2019 former headquarters in Detroit, MI an historic marker honors the crucial role that the tune Money<\/i> plays in building the Motown empire. Barrett’s hypnotic piano riff in Money<\/i> that he records in 1959 was the first national success for the label that came to be known as Hitsville U.S.A<\/i>. But his name does not appear in the copyright documents for Money<\/i> which is Motown\u2019s first national hit. Over the years, Money<\/i> produces millions of dollars in publishing royalties.

\nBILL HILL [owner of KSET-1300 AM] (Beaumont-Lumberton, TX) <\/span><\/b>Subject: Cable penetration. Hi Jim: You might go to the TV web site and check out cable penetration, market by market. I think you will find it interesting. It’s below 50% in some markets and is just over 50% in others. Satellite reception is growing. With HDTV, quite a few homes are taking it off the air. Lots of other options, too. Best wishes to you. By the way, I turn 81 next Saturday. 63 years in radio and television. Still sort of at it. I am the principal of the licensee company of KSET. Station is LMA’d and I am only involved as license holder. Bill Hill<\/span><\/i>

\nDON SUNDEEN [DJ\/Hi Records promotion\/TV ad prod] <\/span>(Dallas, TX) <\/span><\/b>Subject: Here’s The Stretcher Brothers Labor Day Show. As most of you probably know, my bud, Eye Lipson, and I do weekly shows on Radio for the Blind. We’ve also recorded some Holiday Specials including a two hour Christmas Show. However, we’ve also decided to do shows for holidays that aren’t often featured in the media, like Labor Day. This is an hour that we wrote and produced last year that was very well received and will be entered in an international competition this year. There’s content that explains how Labor Day began and what it means now, but there’s also Stretcher Brothers fun and some great music that should bring back memories of years past to most of you. No obligation, but if you have some time, or folks over to barbecue, crank it up and enjoy. Don Sundeen (https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/8f23058ca5daea8be0b2<\/a><\/span><\/b>)<\/span><\/i>

\nCHUCK DUNAWAY [former DJ on WABC-770, KLIF-1190, KBOX-1480 & KILT-610] (Houston-Katy, TX) <\/span><\/b>My first radio gig in 1952 was at KBST in Big Spring and the minimum wage was 65 cents an hour. Because of my age the manager had to contact the wage and hour board to verify I could work 60 hours a week for minimum wage. I remember that as if it were yesterday as I had to pay for room and board etc. I was all alone with no car in Big Spring and on a strict budget of which $8 a week went for a shared room and one meal. Fortunately I could walk to and from the studios. My take home pay left no room to wiggle and I had to have those 60 hours each week to make it. Some weeks I got fewer than 60 hours. It was tough, but a good lesson learned on survival. Chuck<\/span><\/i>
\n 
\nTRIVIA ANSWER:<\/span><\/b> Russian scientist, Vladimir Zworykin, who creates the iconoscope and the kinescope, is widely regarded as one of the Fathers of Television<\/i>. Russian native Zworykin (1889-1982) studies under Boris Rosing at the Petrograd Institute of Technology. Vladimir emigrates to the United States and became a citizen in 1924. Zworykin works with both Westinghouse and longtime leader of RCA David Sarnoff to develop the electron microscope. RCA’s Sarnoff sees the potential for a nationwide network. In 1926 he develops the first national radio network that he names the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). <\/span>
