William "Bill" Dzurilla-1972-Midnight-6AM-Quality Broadcasting, Inc. In an email from Bill; "In November 1972, while I was a student at Daytona Beach Community College, I was hired to do the midnight-6am shift at WNDB AM and WDNJ FM (94.5) in Daytona Beach. This was very shortly after the stations were purchased from the Daytona Beach News-Journal newspaper by Vic Knight’s Quality Broadcasting, headquartered in Delray Beach. The studios remained in the News-Journal building on 6^th Street in Holly Hill. Big changes were in the air, and not all listeners liked them. The format remained MOR, but the new management had decided on a more modern approach, and long-time air personalities such as Ken Lueck had been let go. The new WNDB lineup was John Ferree, the WNDB program director, 6-10am, who transferred from Delray. Then John McFadden was on from 10am-2pm, he had worked for the prior owners. For the afternoon drive, 2-6pm, it was Paul Dunne, another Delray transfer. Paul was program director of WDNJ-FM (94.5), which was automated on a beautiful music format. After Paul there was an hour of CBS News (the station switched to CBS from ABC Information shortly after the Quality takeover). Then from 7-9pm was a simulcast of "Symphony Hall", a classical music program held over from prior management. The initial host when I arrived was Phil Burton but he left quickly and was replaced by Monya Windsor Gilbert. After "Symphony Hall" we ran a taped program, Vic Knight’s “Seven Decades of Sound” Music Shop, the owner’s personal creative effort.
