While this is not a
broadcast radio, I felt that Rush Limbaugh's Remco Caravelle deserved
a place in the Archives due to its unique place in radio history.
The Caravelle was a Christmas gift to Rush at age eleven. He
played at being a disk jockey for hours with this toy, and as an adult
he realized his boyhood dream of becoming a radio broadcast
personality. And what a personality he has become! He's the number one radio talk show host in the nation, with almost 20,000,000 listeners a week. With over twenty years in syndication, he is a five-time recipient of the Marconi Award for the Network Syndicated Personality of the Year and a member of the Radio Hall of Fame. Thanks to Rush, "talk radio" became a phenomenon; his success spawned others who helped revitalize AM radio with the talk format. |
