Show Notes
Hall of Famer Ed LaComb, from the Class of 1985, has been involved with the station for years. He started his own imaging company, Digital Sound and Video, in 1998. He's spent most of the time since then working with the Program Directors of WJPZ to help refine the station's sound.
Ed was also at Syracuse when WJPZ moved to FM. He walks us through his time playing records overnight on carrier current to then the station moving to FM and some real "wow" moments in that process.
We also go through Ed's career, bouncing between snowy upstate New York and sunny Daytona Beach, Florida, where he started his company. He shares his advice for both aspiring business owners and audio producers, including his current thoughts on the radio industry today. Spoiler: he's not a fan of stations being bought by the same company and cross-promoting each other.
We wrap up with a Rick Wright story. Always the station's best ally, we hear about how Dr. Rick gave an impassioned speech to the Student Government Association when the station was trying to secure funding for the move to FM.
