Telling the story of a legend
WTVN's Bob Conners & Joel Riley
It was the end of an era. On November 30, 2011 veteran morning show host Bob Conners hung up his headphones after 40 years in broadcasting. Bob’s career began in his small hometown in Pennsylvania, where he says "I was born to do one thing, radio". Conners' career brought him to 610AM WTVN in 1964 when AM radio was still the rock and roll medium. And “over the top” was how a DJ was suppose to sound. Bob continued to develop and adapt as radio changed, and his show has been the most listened to radio program in Central Ohio during his reign as the Morning Monarch. To honor Bob and tell his story to the 4 decades of listeners WTVN brought in documentary producer John Ondo of Ondo Media. "We are proud to produce several videos for 610WTVN.COM" said Ondo. The videos ranged from documentary style to the actual final hour of Bob’s last broadcast. WTVN site has been bubbling with hits, as the five videos were rolled out over several days.
Ondo Media specializes in documentary production and media consulting and is based on Columbus, Ohio. John Ondo, produced and wrote the videos for WTVN. 610WTVN owned by Clear Channel Communications and is the number one news/talk station in Central Ohio. The videos can be viewed at WTVN.COM as well as the Ondo Media Vimeo site.
