I KNOW YOU AND ‘ERS GO WAY BACK. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HOW YOU FIRST GOT INVOLVED WITH THE STATION?
Howard Simpson: My first connection to the station was as a teenaged listener in Mattapan. At the time there was an Urban music program called 88.9 At Night. I used to record new music onto a cassette tape. Could always count on the station to have the latest, freshest tracks! A few years later I enrolled at Emerson College as a TV major. Once I understood that the Emerson campus was home to WERS and 88.9 At Night, I just had to audition for an on-air position. The 4 years went by quickly and I graduated having already been working in commercial radio for a couple of years. Still love TV and video too, though!
