Scott Burns' Timeline
Here's how Scott tells it....
"One thing (WRKO) did well was market! Please don't let the promotion
pictures (see table below) scare you as they did my children. Yikes, what
were we thinking about in the '70s? Notice the disco shirt. And
is that a perm? Geez. Shoot me!"
The note from Harry Nelson was the only time he ever really commented on my
show. Harry was kind of quiet, yet this note made my day.
It was also way cool to be able to say I worked with the incredible Charlie
Van Dyke. When Harry left (Donna Halper took over, then Charlie came in), Charlie
encouraged me to make tapes to continue my dream of doing mornings. I ended
up in Seattle in 1980 at KJR."
