10 Questions with ... Dave KesterBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Over 30 years in both commercial and non-commercial radio, with the last 13 at WNCW in positions ranging from Operations Director, Program Director and now as the Dir./Radio Operations for the college and Station Manager of WNCW. Prior stops include PD and OM at WFMX/WSIC /Statesville, NC - The John Boy and Billy Radio Network and WKKT in Charlotte, NC
1. How did you become interested in radio?
I started out interested in having a career in the music industry, but while I was in college I did a radio internship at Y106 and Y104 in Atlanta. I got bitten by the radio bug and never looked back.
2. With the station coming up on its 30th anniversary, what are your plans to celebrate?
WNCW went on the air Friday October 13th back in 1989. Our anniversary date will fall on the first day of our Fall Pledge Drive. We'll be on the air throughout the week, asking for support, but we have lots of contests and some really neat prizes to offer up all week in celebration of our 30th anniversary. In the coming weeks, we'll also look back at our history with several of the staff, volunteers, and listeners of the station who've been such a big part of WNCW over our 30 years on the air. We still have quite a few listeners who were tuned in the first day the station went on the air and have been with us for the entire 30 years.
