Let's talk to a man who put these guys together on the air.

Bors and Bernstein put them together back in August of 99.

And before that, he was in charge of Boers and McNeil and everybody else among the score

originals.

He is the goose.

Your listeners change every 15 minutes.

Ron Gleason is with us.

He's in retirement. Are you out west somewhere warm, I'm told? Hello, Ron.

Yeah, 72 degrees. Sunshine. It's beautiful. I don't miss the cold. I don't miss the snow. I miss the

score. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, here you are on the score.

Ron, did you know that Terry Boers was capable of becoming the talent that he became?

Yes, 100%. So it's interesting how this all kind of began.

The genius of the station at the beginning, really back to the spring of 91,

Seth Mason, Vice President, Diamond Broadcasting. They wanted a

station to sell in tandem with WXRT. And he really started by hiring Tom Scher and Dan McNeil.

And then after that, we had conversations. He was talking to people. We talked in the summer. I agreed to join the station as the first program director, and I'd never been a program director before. I was an on-air guy. But I had agreed to join, but not until they got their license. And because of all kinds of legal ramifications, et cetera, they didn't get their license

until December.

But Seth would reach out to me and say, what do you think of this guy?

You know, listen to this tape.

What do you think about this?

And, you know, he asked me about Terry Boers one day, and I said, fantastic.

I mean, I would listen to him.
