First Radio Broadcast by Chas Henry

On September 23, 1971 — paying for the airtime with $20 earned mowing lawns — Chas Henry, aged 13, did his first-ever radio show, which consisted of disc jockeying contemporary Christian music, and reading public service announcements for the church he and his family attended at the time. He bought the time from Lorenzo Milam, manager of the avant-garde free-form radio station KTAO in Los Gatos, California. Today, Chas is a news anchor and national security correspondent heard on hundreds of U. S. radio stations via Westwood One News.
