Recent release 'My Life as a Great Lakes Broadcaster' from Covenant Books author Bill Thompson is a riveting account that shares the author's experiences as a professional media broadcaster.
MASON, Mich., July 2, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Bill Thompson, a retired radio news anchor and reporter who received recognition and awards from the Associated Press, the Michigan Association of Broadcasters and Central Michigan University Alumni Association, has completed his new book, “My Life as a Great Lakes Broadcaster,” a compelling book that shares personal and insightful perspectives in the field of media and communications.
“My Life as a Great Lakes Broadcaster” is a true story that takes the reader back more than six decades to when the author and electronic communication were both in their infancy. It is a recollection of stories from Michigan broadcaster Bill Thompson as he returns to his roots growing up on the family farm in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. It shows readers how he was proficient at performing music in band and orchestra, then became interested in speech at Remus Chippewa Hills High School. From there, he moved on to five active years at Central Michigan University where Bill describes his broadcast and journalism training. That college training helped to combine all of those earlier interests into one, and it came up: radio. That led to a 40-year career of rapid cultural, technical and personal changes. Once leaving CMU, the journey took Bill “up and down the dial” across the state of Michigan, from Alma to Sault Ste. Marie and South Haven, working in various radio jobs, except for sales and engineering, before coming to Michigan’s Capitol City of Lansing where he settled into news reporting. After 12 years at two Lansing stations, Bill found his calling at a statewide radio news network for the next 23 years despite turmoil and five ownership changes. This book is an exciting journey that those who love Michigan history, culture and broadcasting won’t want to finish until it’s over.
