Norm Childs, BS '59, works in a control room at radio station WCAU, where he is a reporter and producer. Childs was working at WCAU while still a student, writes newscasts for the station's pioneering "in-depth" talk shows. He also produces WCAU's traffic reporting service; a popular early morning disc-jokey show, and a remote hookup for a program which features phone calls from listeners to the manager of the Phillies. Child screens the callers and their questions, guards against broadcasting obsene language by means of a seven-second delay device. Required by FCC regulation, the device tapes conversations, plays them back almost instantly - unless Childs spots trouble and throws a switch to cut call off the air.
