Abstract:

Tom Kearney started a part-time job at WPTF in Raleigh in 1982 and in 1988 he had his own show, broadcasting weekly between 9 and 10 pm. His is a measured and soothing voice among a host of vitriolic broadcasters. He has a loyal audience, and his shows cover a range of topics like drive-in-restaurants and old movies, as well as guests including a pharmacist, economist, stamp-and-coin expert, and state government officials.
