IN DEPTH: THE HISTORY OF KCBS

BossRadioDJ

BossRadioDJ

At 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Sunday (Feb. 15), the subject on KCBS' half-hour "In Depth" program will be the history of KCBS itself.

Melissa Culross interviewed Prof. Mike Adams from San Jose State University this past week for the program. Mike is an expert on KCBS' founder, Charles David Herrold, and is one of his most passionate defenders. One hundred years ago, Herrold and his fledgling station were the first to broadcast programs over the air for a general audience.

Those of us who study radio history -- and who know Mike Adams -- consider him to be Prof Herrold's "lost son"; I think Mike and Gordon Greb know more about Herrold and his legacy than even Herrold would have known about himself.

I agree with you there. I oredered a DVD directly from Mike Adams a few years ago that Mike produced along with KTEH called Radio's Forgotten Father which is all about Doc Herrald. Very good. Not sure if there are any more left but worth checking out.

The book (which reads like a novel) and the DVD are available on Prof. Adams' Doc Herrold website:

Correction: Melissa Culross did the preview piece on the Adams interview, but the interview itself was conducted by Jane McMillan and KCBS News Director Ed Cavagnero.
