Radio News Pioneer 'WCBS All-News 88' Now Has Tribute Page

Don Swaim worked for WCBS-AM for thirty-one years as an editor, writer, producer, reporter, and anchor. He jokes, "I wasn't that hot on the air so most of my anchor stuff was overnight and weekends".

For more than a dozen years he voiced a daily radio feature called Book Beat (with repeats it was heard twenty times a week on WCBS). In fact, much of Swaim's CBS broadcast material can now be heard on line at Wired for Books.

Don wants everyone to know about his WCBS Newsradio88 Appreciation Site which traces the history of one of America's great radio station.

Learn more about its wobbly start after a plane crashed into its New York City transmitter tower the night before its debut, read profiles of staffers - some long gone - and see images of memorabilia, plus visitors can peruse a "memories" page in which ex-staffers and listeners are filing recollections, reunion pictures, and more.
