An editor friend of mine, who normally writes articles about popular
culture, asked me for my list of the most important radio
personalities of all time in Boston-- she's asking people in a number
of other cities too. She wanted to know about the radio people who
are/were considered the best-known, most popular, in other words, the
people who made a major impact in Boston, whether they got huge
ratings or not.
While it's hard to name just a few (she suggested no more than 6 or
7), I was thinking Arnie Ginsburg, David Brudnoy, Bob Clayton, Jerry
Williams, Dick Summer or perhaps Bruce Bradley, Carl deSuze or maybe
Dave Maynard... and I wanted to say somebody from sports-- like Curt
Gowdy, who got started in radio but later was identified with TV...
wow, I could probably name about 20, but who would you say fit her
criteria-- best known, most popular, somebody who made a major impact
in some way (whether through charitable work, getting quoted a lot,
being identified with some major area of broadcasting like sports or
news or some niche format)... What would your list of Boston's top
radio personalities be-- and why would you choose the ones that you
decided on?
