2008 Interview with Bobby-Q-Day


Nearly 40 years ago, I was working a DJ show on WAMM-AM in Flint, Michigan. I was contacted by a young black man named “Earl Clark”. He said he was from Detroit and had studied radio while in the Navy. He had filed for a FM radio station license with the FCC.

The more we talked, I learned he needed an antenna (tower) site for this soon to be radio station; in fact he needed everything from equipment to personnel. I agreed to help him get this station on the air.

We started to look for a tower location. We drove along the country farmlands around Saginaw until we found a farmer who let us lease land to build our tower. My brother-in law who was a super salesman, agreed to join us as Sales Manager.
