JERRY BLAVAT- RON JOSEPH RJ ARE THE LAST PERSONALITIES IN BROADCASTING TODAY

T

towernews

Thank you for remembering Jerry Blavat and Ron Joseph RJ. Yes, both of them have been in Radio and TV for 53 years. For your information at the athegymtday by your admission of mentioning RJ you know that he is a personality that has been around with Dick Clark, Joe Niagra, Hy Lit, and all the other greats of Philadelphia radio and tv. They all have appeared on his television show in 1961. Check out his website at rjforever.com
 
OK RJ maybe I was a bit tough on you. I used to play your tapes on WNAR 1110 on Sundays back in 1967 and we have met, on Mermaid Ln. In Wyndmoor when you and former Channel 3 Pat Polillow(sp) were trying to get low power Ch. 8 Licensed to Willow Grove. I remember you installing a new antenna but the signal never got very far, but I always wondered why comcast did not carry your signal.
 
You can't talk about RJ's television management career without mentioning "TV Heaven, Channel 7"!
 
Was channel 7 low power station before or after channel 8 (Wyndmoor) Willow Grove mess? I know in the late 90's they had converted the building on Mermaid Ln. that once housed WQAL 106.1 back in the day when broadcast pioneer member David Custis was on the air. I wasn't impressed extremely old equipment Umatic tape players from the 70's at the time my son was on the Abington H.S. football team as a video camerman and we actually had plans to possibly bring the tapes over to the station to put on the air. I think the problem was the signal never got out past the Wyndmoor tower (AKA the rickety stick of Wyndmoor), and with most people having cable and comcast did not put ch. 8 on their line-up, (remember at this time everything including comcast was analog). None of it made much sense to me.
