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." |
