Feedback-Echoes from My Life in Radio by Charles Payne
This was the man who created the original KABL format, caused Pat Robertson to consult with Jesus about call letters, paid cash each month to a Mexican General for McLendon, and launched one of the earliest all-news formats on WINS, New York. It's a fun book. He knew a lot of people back when they were nobody special. Thanks to Mike LaPorte for lending me the book.
