Meet 'Only Person Working Full Time At Programming HD”

Radio Rich
St. Louis radio listeners wondering what happened to "Radio Rich" Dalton, who had been running the 10-2 midday shift at KHTS FM-96 (KIHT), he still is working at Emmis Communications.

He's just programming for the future — which he hopes will sound like the past.

Dalton has been asked by station management to work full-time on running KSHE's HD radio operation, known as KSHE II.

"It's been operating for six years, since December 2006," Dalton tells Joe Holleman at stltoday.com. "But now, I may be the only person in the U.S. working full-time at programming HD radio."

Dalton started his jock career in 1971 with KADI, which rivaled KSHE in the revered "album-oriented rock" format of the late 1960s and 1970s — the days when FM rock stations operated without market studies and computer-generated playlists, when disc jockeys picked their own selections.

Dalton's old shift at K-HITS is now manned by Todd Morgan.
