A story from a 1979 episode of "Real People" about a 10 year old who worked as a DJ at WTNS in Coshocton, OH

Nice feature - It'd be interesting to know if he's still in the business.
It's interesting to go back and see some of the stories that once appeared on shows like "Real People" and "That's Incredible". I remember watching a few back then and hearing my parents say "That's not a actually big deal, XYZ person we know can do that". There were some solid human interest stories for sure, but back then the world was a seemingly much smaller place. People or stories they sometimes featured as "special" or a "unique talent" back then were actually relatively commonplace, but again, the world was a bit smaller, people weren't as well-traveled and that was long before the internet, etc. I recall specifically a feature about a waiter who's claim to fame was that the could remember the food orders of every single person at a table without having to write anything down. In my experience that's actually a fairly normal occurrence.
