TWiRT 715 - I Started at KFI and Worked My Way Down with Lee Melton

TWiRT - This Week in Radio Tech - Podcast

Lee Melton is one of those semi-crazy radio guys that we know and love. And many of us wanted to BE that guy! Lee’s career started at KFI, Los Angeles, and he’s been at about 25 radio stations, even building a couple in Southeast Texas. Some have called him “The Kind of Radio Trade-Outs” while many others called him a friendly and fun voice on the radio. Lee’s radio recollections inspire plenty of banter with Chris Tarr and Kirk Harnack. And Chris reveals his encounter with Paul McCartney! It's an hour of radio stories and fun, with a little engineering talk sprinkled in.

Show Notes:
Lee’s Facebook page is a good place to connect.
Chris Tarr mentioned a new Valcom AM whip antenna for one of his radio stations.
