William "Bill" Dzurilla-1972-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 (1150) and WDNJ FM 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 6th Street in Holly Hill..." "...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." |
