Inside Cover
"Radio was the most wonderful entertainment that has happened to us, you know. It was where the action was. It came into our homes. The newspaper did, but in a different way. When radio came in it was just lake a window on the whole world out there..."
- Ann Wagner

"I want to say right now, I was one of the first who predicted that television would not last. I thought it was a nice idea to put pictures on it but it's not worth it. People won't pay extra money just to have the picture. That was the one time I was wrong."
- Harry Martin

"It dawned on me one day after a story... how powerful our words are, how careful we have to be about what we say and how we say it, because it affects young ones who are watching and old ones who are taking advice from me."
- Barbara Boyd

"Tip O'Neil coined the phrase 'everything in politics is local.' and so it is with radio. Everything in radio is local... Philosophically, I think that the closer a radio station is to the community, the better it is as a product for the consumer, but I also think the better it is as an investment."
- John Dille

"I am very proud of most of the broadcasters I know... the people in Indiana, going back from the earliest days of WFBM and WIBC, felt that it was their obligation to improve the quality of life here. It's mandated, yes... but most broadcasters realize that being involved in the community is just good business."
- Jeff Smulyan
