    Dewey did work for KBAM, but the station was in Longview, not Centralia.

    I read somewhere that it was Bankson who suggested that the tribune sell KTNT because the 1400 frequency is now useless. Not trying to bash Positive Broadcasters, but the ratings did drop after they took it over. Maybe it was just the sign of the times? Interesting article.

      Some companies could kill off radio stations like I do with house plants.

    Dewey was my boss at KTNT and he was a good one. Easy going, but always striving for improvement. A few years later, after time at KMPS, he went to country KXDD-FM in Yakima for a 20-year run as program director, retiring five years ago.

    Dewey split for KBAM Longview just weeks before I started training at LH Bates Vocation-Technical. Years later, I went to KBAM, enjoying 2 years there. Arne Peterson was a joy to work for.
