This personality profile would have been included in WSBA sales presentations. Dated March of 1973, this profile provides a brief professional background of Johnny’s career.
The profile states:
Johnny Knight has a well-rounded background. Coming into broadcasting via the electronics route, Johnny quickly acquired a first class FCC operator’s license. His program director’s stint at WUDO also permitted him an opportunity to do some selling, thus understanding what happens on the other side of the microphone. At WSBA he is not only a top on air personality but is in great demand for his personal appearances. Johnny produces many of the public service spots heard on WSBA.
Johnny would finish his broadcasting career in 1986 as Jack Carter at WUBE in Cincinnati Ohio.
