Booth, has been galvanizing radio listeners since before the Beatles invaded America. "The Southern Gentleman" was spinning discs for troops in Korea and was a major voice in the Top-40 format; once the announcer for the Texas Rangers baseball team, Starting out in broadcasting at the tender, voice-changing age of 13. In 1962, TONY BOOTH started to work as a DJ at KFTV RADIO in Paris, Texas. By '65, he was Music Director of the station besides his afternoon drive shift. After that a run at some really great stations..

Joe Ferguson 1983
Joe Ferguson is back. Joe was one of the US jocks that AFRTS contracted to really be the Voice of Home. Joe sent the shows along to share and I for one am very grateful.
Charlie Tuna 1995
Charlie was with us for 25 years, thousands of shows. Thousands of us at the stations studying how to do that. In 1995 AFRTS let all of the network jocks go. The system changed. From October 1995, here's Charlie Tuna's last show to the world on AFRTS.

Clark Taylor AFN 1978
Recently we lost Clark Taylor:
At AFN-SHAPE, I did the morning show for two years and since I was an experienced interviewer, I was tasked to interview most celebrities coming through Paris, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam. So I met Jerry Lewis the actor in Paris, Abba and Barry Manilow in Holland and Merle Haggard and many others in Rotterdam. Clark Taylor biography
Jazz Beat 1985
We played a lot of jazz well into the 1980s and spread the music worldwide. In 1986 Laura Lee hosted the Jazz Beat, give a listen:
Charlie Tuna 1987
Somewhere on planet earth it was morning and Charlie Tuna was doing a morning show all day long, somewhere. That's pretty awesome and it's something we probably won't see again. In 1987 here's what it sounded like:
Meet the Press 1967
In the 1960s we didn't have reliable network connections. Sometimes shortwave. Sometime the talk shows would be on transcription. On this Meet The Press, it's Senator WIlliam Proxmire.
