OTR Mania
Preserving Old Time Radio

Dick Castanie

I was born in 1941, and remember growing up to the mysterious voices coming from the box in our living room.  I was so amazed that all those people fit into that little box, and fascinated by the sounds that came from our radio,

It shouldn't have been so mysterious however since my father was chief engineer of the CBS owned radio station KMOX in St. Louis.  But as a small child that means little....

As I grew up I became enamored with the technical side of radio and at the age of fifteen got my first part time job at a very small radio station in St. Louis.  Talk about thrilled...

I spent hours at KMOX wandering the control rooms, and the master control, those were some of the best days of my life!

I will use this site to tease you into the collecting of old radio programs, because once you listen I am sure you will be hooked as I was..

  
Yours truly
 Dick Castanie Chief Engineer WZPX TV
