Freeform is Born (by Lou D'Antonio, Amy Foerster, and Liz Berg)
Under the influence of engineer George Black, DJs Lou “The
Duck” D’Antonio and Vin Scelsa, and a motley collection of volunteers, WFMU
shifts from block programming to a less restrictive format. This loosely-defined
approach to programming was given a name by the visiting, muttonchop-sporting
West coast radio guru, Larry Yurdin: “freeform.” A variety of Upsala students
and local talent are recruited to man the airwaves -- Danny Fields and Kokaine
Karma's Rudnick and Frawley among them -- which promptly alarms Upsala alumni
and board of trustees. Fall, 1967.
