Presented is a full transcript of this detailed, colorful history. Lonto, founder of Studio Z-7 Publishing, is the author of local broadcasting realted books "Fiasco At 1280" and "It Happened On the Air," the writer of a regular column called "It Happened On the Air" for the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting Newsletter in the 1990s, and has written many online features about broadcast history and other pop culture-related subjects.
