WRTI
Executive Staff 1948-52 |
These lists were compiled by Gerry Wilkinson from old WRTI Program Guides and the weekly WRTI newsletter, On-Audition. Additional information was gathered from old newspaper articles. The materials were found in the Conwellana-Templana Special Collection at the Samuel Paley Library at Temple University. If you can help us fill in the blanks, it would be appreciated. Chart created by Jerry Klein.
From 1948 through the Fall of 1952, WRTI consisted only of the AM station.
