Video: An interesting, if dated, profile on WBAP’s Hal Jay
A 1993 video about Hal Jay produced by a jingle company. Good stuff for radio history buffs.
Hal Jay
Hal Jay has been at WBAP Ft. Worth/Dallas since 1981. For 13 years, he had the unusual distinction of hosting both the morning and afternoon drive-time slots, along with pilot Dick Siegel who was in the air doing traffic reports. This film came from September 3, 1993, as Hal anchored all of the afternoon news, sports, weather, and traffic interlaced with his own good humor. At that time the station, which had transitioned from country music to news-talk, was using "The Spirit of New England" jingle package from JAM (originally created for WBZ Boston). Hal continues to host the WBAP Morning News program. This video was part of a much longer presentation that was shown at the 1993 NAB radio convention.
