WRC Washington DC Sales Booklet

  WRC in the 1960s was a full service AM giant, with authoritative news and music each day. I was introduced to them on the weekends, when my dad would set us down to listen to The Joy Boys, Ed Walker and Willard Scott, who did a very funny show. It was corny, with plenty of puns and slide whistle sound effects, but for my dad and I it was a bonding experience.

  I wrote a fan letter to WRC and asked for some station stuff, and they sent me this sales booklet, with info on the station and air staff. A page is below, but you can download the whole brochure as a pdf file by clicking here.

I also got some WRC stationary, but I never wrote any letters on it.

There's a great WRC tribute site that you can visit by clicking here. Check it out.

The Joy Boys on WRC Washington DC

The Joy Boys were Ed Walker and Willard Scott, who teamed up on college radio and then moved their show to WRC in Washington. I used to listen to the show on weekends (a replay?) with my dad, and both of us really enjoyed it. I wrote to WRC, and they sent me a station brochure with this page about the Joy Boys.

The Joy Boys recently were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, and there's a website where you can learn more of their history, and hear some of their shows. Check it out at http://www.thejoyboys.com/
