  • Even though the job of a TV journalist has many repetitive actions, the substance of the job, the news, almost never repeats itself. This is something I discovered during my first serious job when I worked at WAKR TV and Radio in Akron. I spent three years there and loved the fact that the sense of discovery with my job changed every day as the news would change. (en)
  • We had to send an engineer out with a reporter... they radioed it in and we would record it on discs. We didn't have tapes or wires; we actually put it on wax. (en)
  • I always thought Chuck's strength was being positive, making people feel good about where they're working and what they're doing, and then he came back and tried to add onto that positive image... positive energy but yet continue to help you do better at your job, and feeling better as a person. (en)
  • I think I did some good work here. I have four statewide awards to show for it. I can walk out of here with my head up and a lot of friends... I don't feel anything but good about the people I have worked with and the job I have done here. (en)
  • Keeping the flame of 1590 WAKR, a vital and historic radio station burning brightly is not a job, it's a privilege. Add to that I get to compile and manage a library of songs we all grew up with, well, just try to drag me out of here. (en)
  • Many a Hollywood star would envy fan mail... which averages about 500 letters and postcards a day... plus telegrams and special delivery epistles... A well-meaning mother was having trouble getting her baby to sleep... so she called WAKR to have Alan sing a lullaby... Result! Freed did... but the baby didn't. (en)
  • He plans to do free lance TV work in the big city and don't be surprised if you see his face on some network video programs. (en)
  • Berk wants to be Vice President-Broadcasting. The reason? Status! This is terribly important to him and you must know the man to understand his attitude. As I read it, Berk fears being 'shunted aside.' He craves recognition, doesn't want to be known forever as 'the man from WAKR.' More on this later. (en)
  • Washington insiders don't give interested Akronites much chance of being granted a license for a third radio station in the rubber city ... I can't say we need it ... (en)
  • Many times we would get off the air and be exhausted from laughing so much. I remember saying, "You know, Bob , these are the good old days." And they were. (en)
