         THE DAYS OF DOUBLE DEE!        

  This is "National Disc Jockey Day!" I

used to be a DJ. For most of the first few

years of my broadcasting career I played

all the latest (at the time) hits and some

golden oldies as well. But that was a time

when most communities, even smaller ones,

had their own local radio stations. Though

it's National DJ Day they guys and girls

that really made an impact were the local

DJ's. The ones who knew their own

community and the life styles of their

audience. Unfortunately most of those

local stations are gone now or, if not,

bring you a DJ by satellite broadcasting

from a studio far away from your main

street. They don't know the local news,

weather, or anything else about your

community. And that shows when a

local disaster strikes. I'll take my

"good old days" as a DJ way over today's

offerings. But for those of you still on

the air and spinning the hits, keep up

them coming! Hope all your NEWS is

good!
