Links
Why go there? ...because they link to here!
This “Linkage” page is only a very small part of a very large website, and to be honest, it’s no longer a priority. We maintain it for those who have befriended us over the years. For the most part, the older links are near the top and have been here longer; the sites listed near the bottom have been recently added. Please keep in mind that “older” for REELRADIO may mean the link is 14 years old!
If you find any of these links are no longer working, please let me know.[Uncle Ricky]

Updated, Version 4 and now at www.bossradioforever.com) was created by Woody Goulart who worked for Drake-Chenault, and wrote his masters
thesis on the subject of “Boss Radio.” His site includes interviews with Bill Drake and Ron Jacobs, and is a must-read for students of the art. - I was pleased to learn that The Museum of
the City of San Francisco has linked to several KFRC airchecks in the Repository. Thanks to Dave
Fowler, the Museum Webmaster!
The WEB Magazine featured the Repository as EDITOR’S CHOICE in RADIO/TV Site Reviews for June, 1997. We rated an overall 5, which is the highest rating they offered. Then, they nominated us for a 1998
Webby Award, which they inappropriately awarded to Audionet (which became “broadcast.com”, and now just resolves to “yahoo.com”). Then, The WEB Magazine ceased publication. The Webby Awards are still around, there are entry fees involved, and they never apologized for their 1998 indiscretion.- Tom Dean has linked us up at AirSho, where you can check in on Real Estate Agents in SE Michigan and listen while you look.
