They built some of the components used in their 1959 construction of WQAL FM in Wyndmoor, PA. Abe Voron<\/strong> was installed as station manager and young Dave Custis, working without pay, assembled a record library and fashioned programming for its November 11 debut. “It was really fun,” reports Custis, ” I could play whatever I wanted,” sometimes even records from his own collection. His format was “very loose”, “a mixture of instrumental music and syrupy popular music of that era” apparently aimed at adults but not entirely excluding hit recordings. With very little publicity, the station attracted an audience which within two years exceeded that of other Philadelphia area FMs. Stereo operations began in 1962.<\/p>\n Abe Voron became a major force in the burgeoning National Association of FM Broadcasters. During the welcome address to their 1968 convention, Abe Voron notes \u201cNAFMB\u2026 the only organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to the promotion of FM radio and whose stubborn devotion during those early, lonely years has led FM radio to its present position of universal recognition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”John Bayliss Award – $4,000″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n John Bayliss<\/strong> was one of the best friends the broadcast industry ever had.

From October, 1976 to February, 1980, Mr. Bayliss was president of Gannett Broadcasting’s radio division. During his tenure, the division was involved in 15 station transactions, and he earned Hall Radio Report nominations for Radio Executive of the Year and Group Executive of the Year in 1977 and 1978.<\/p>\n From March to December, 1980, Mr. Bayliss headed the broadcast group of Charter Broadcasting’s communications division and was an equity partner in Charter Media Company.
