In 1960, Ken was honored
with a Golden Quill award for his story about the firing of the Mount Lebanon
High School Basketball coach. In those days, Top 40 stations did more than
just headline reporting. Here is Ken's report from September 6, 1960.
This is a portion of the
letter sent to the Golden Quill committee.
| Notice that at this time
KQV was owned by Allegheny Broadcasting Corporation, a subsidiary of American
Broadcasting - Paramount Theatres, Inc. Later this would become KQV Incorporated,
and American Broadcasting - Paramount Theatres, Inc. would become the American
Broadasting Company - ABC |
As an affiliate of ABC Radio,
KQV newscasters often fed stories to ABC Radio News. Here is a series of
stories on the Steel Strike. Ken recorded stories for both KQV News and
ABC News.
