Delilah
Weekdays: 7PM-12AM
I was a small-town girl.
Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing
me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her
fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and
selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field
trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old
heart.
There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a
daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town.
One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me
take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my
wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing
newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced
my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol.
In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the
four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station.
Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job:
"Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly.
By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time
part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts,
wrote and produced commercials. I took the empty soda pop bottles back
for the refund. Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I
was happy!
It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl
Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station.
Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but
the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my
first love.
