- Title
The Voice in the Night Unheard by Scholars: Herb Jepko and the Genesis of National Talk Radio.
- Authors
Romney, Miles
- Abstract
Radio scholarship is an emerging field of study among broadcast historians and much remains unexplored. There exists little investigation into how early FCC clear-channel radio stations provided the first platform for national radio communication. Much of historical scholarship recognizes Larry King's satellite-distributed program as the pioneering stride in national overnight talk radio. This study examines new archival evidence that reveals Herb Jepko used clear-channel signals to broadcast the first national overnight talk radio program.
