Channel 7 (downstairs from WRKO radio) asked Ron to
return, and Ron accepted the job for the next six years. In 1981, he was
re-hired by WRKO, then a talk station, as a news anchor. That
lasted until 1994. In 1996, Ron was hired by Metro, to do news for
various Boston stations. Ron is still doing that, today. According to Ron: "Dale
Dorman was fun to work with...always up. Ditto with J.J. Jeffrey.
Shadoe was the good-looking guy with the great voice ready to make
a move to KHJ. He was easy to work with. I stopped by KHJ in
the summer of '70 and got the buck and a half tour from him.
That's when he was signed on to do weekends." |
Ron
Hurst began his broadcast career with WNAC-TV, (channel 7) in the film
department in June of 1967. The following summer, through 1969,
"I became a WRKO news correspondent, reporting on
prison breaks and train crashes, etc. and also reported the NASCAR
results from Norwood. I also answered the RKO hitline. In the
fall of 1969, the Air Force came knocking. After
the Air Force (in 1973), I returned home, went to Curry College and
re-joined WRKO News in late '74-75." (The photo to your left
