NEW EXHIBIT AT RADIO CENTRAL
Celebrating California Communication History
Recently we recognized California’s 175th anniversary of statehood. As part of this milestone, CHRS presents a new exhibit featuring people, places, artifacts and events that are California based, and had great influence in the development of modern communications in America. We are highlighting just a few of many people and innovations that made our State a powerhouse of communication development. This exhibit was suggested by Kim Brickman and created by the team of Steve Kushman, Rachel Lee, Violet Bacerra and Bob Rydzewski. Almost all featured displays have a QR code that you can click on for more information. So, don’t delay… Come by Radio Central any Saturday or Wednesday and check out our new display.
