Jerry Lee To Be Honored
Jerry Lee is responsible for creating the first major success in FM radio — after graduating from Youngtown State University in 1960 he became interested in the future of the radio industry. In 1963, he moved to Philadelphia and formed a partnership with the late Dave Kurtz, and launched WDVR, now WBEB. “We are honored to recognize Jerry for his tireless service and dedication to his community and the broadcast industry,” stated Joe Conti, PAB President. “Jerry’s passion and devotion to such causes as education and crime prevention have set a benchmark for others to follow and his efforts have touched countless lives. We are proud to bestow this honor on Jerry.”
