Fred Net airs a different and unique two hour program every Monday at 3pm with rebroadcasts at 8pm NYT and on the following Saturday at 3pm NYT. Keith Angstadt, VP of Operations and General Manager says, "Our niche is one of special programming and targeting the demographics of our listeners by polling their interests, likes, and dislikes. We include them by asking "them" what they want to hear." Fred Net Radio is appealing not only to The Greatest Generation who incidentally is remarkably computer savvy, but also to the huge Baby Boomer generation which have "come of age." Fred Net Radio station owner, Keith Angstadt, knew at a young age that he wanted to be in broadcasting. He began his career at the age of 11 in ham radio in Philadelphia, PA. By the time Keith reached age 17 in 1962, he landed his first job for WFLS Radio out of Fredericksburg, VA as a Boy Friday, fetching coffee for the DJs. But, within six months, he was holding a microphone in his hands broadcasting live on Sunday mornings. He soon became Chief Engineer and Drive Time Announcer until departing to build a TV station, WHFV-TV. WHFV-TV was an affiliate of NBC-TV where Keith was the VP, General Manager, and Director of Technical Operations. Keith aired weekly editorials and local news inserts with the "Today Show." After WHFV-TV was sold in 1976, Keith departed to return to radio where he would spend his next 25 years with The Mutual Broadcasting System, out of Arlington, VA. Mutual Broadcasting introduced the country to The Larry King Show, where it was common to see The President(s) and all of their secret service personnel, along with celebrity personalities including Bob Hope, whom Keith met personally. His career with Mutual sent him to NY, Culver City, CA, and other locations used by the network. While working out of WNEW-AM in NY on "The Make Believe Ballroom", Keith met Rosemary Clooney and Don Pardo, and he was even introduced to Betty White. After Keith's retirement in the summer of 2008, he decided to start an internet broadcast station playing the music that he loved to play back in 1972. Knowing that internet broadcasting was a growing technology and still developing, he believed in the wave of the future that might allow the little guy a level playing field while competing with the broadcast conglomerates. On October 20, 2008, http://www.frednetradio.com commenced broadcasting. The station is a family effort with Keith's four daughters, one son, and six grandchildren all at the helm at one time or another. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
