On behalf of all our Radio members, The SCBA pays homage to the great Casey Kasem, whose amazing life and brilliant Radio career was fully realized in his lifetime. All of us will read many tributes today to this very talented Radio legend. All we can add is our admiration for a man who truly believed in, and demonstrated the true power of Radio every time he was on the air. We can think of no better quote of his on the true value of Radio than this:
“Despite all the technical improvements, it still boils down to a man or a woman and a microphone, playing music, sharing stories, talking about issues – communicating with an audience.”
We will keep “reaching for the stars,” thanks to you, Casey.
