    THE CURTIS MEDIA STORY 1968—2008 To longtime BMI shareholder and North Carolina broadcasting legend Don Curtis Congratulations on the 40th anniversary of Curtis Media Group and thank you for your strong support of our songwriters and music publishers. Your Friends at BMI® WELCOME Dear Friends and Partners, It is with great pleasure—and no small measure of humility—that I present to you “Live and Local, The Curtis Media Story,” commemorating four decades of service to the radio listeners of North Carolina. Inside this keepsake publication, you’ll learn much about our rich history while, at the same time, getting to know some of our fabulous people and, of course, Don Curtis himself. Also included are comprehensive descriptions of our radio stations and Internet companies plus some very memorable photo archives. I find it almost inconceivable that Don Curtis founded this company the very same year I entered high school. To this day, Don is an energetic and passionate visionary, who I consider a good friend and contemporary. It rarely occurs to me that he was well on his way to becoming one of our industry’s most respected op- erators while I was still dreaming of becoming a big-time deejay. Thank goodness he stuck with his plan, and I abandoned mine! These last six years have been among the most rewarding of my career. Don Curtis fosters an environment of creativity, community service and a competitive spirit. I’m grateful he’s allowed me to assemble a team that’s among the most talented and dedicated in all of commercial radio and, in return, we never, ever take our indepen- dence for granted.

  • "North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of Shearon Harris
    NHIEX E EHERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEH PROCEDURES FOR THE SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR.POMER PLANT OPERATIONAL AREA I. PURPOSE. This annex establishes procedures for the activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tone aler t radio system in case of an accident/incident at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. II. GENERAL. This annex recognizes the State of North Carolina and the County of Make as the lead coordinating agencies for public notification and warning in case of an accident/incident at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. This recognition, however, imposes no restriction on the counties of Chatham, Harnett, and Lee in meeting their responsibility for the prompt notification and warning of their respective citizens. It merely vests a collective trust in one governmental agency to act as the catalyst for initiating an event common to several parties which must be carefully coordinated. III. CONCEPT A. The activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) and the NOAA weather radio system will be a function of the Emergency Operations Center. EBS and NOAA may be activated under one of three different situations: 1. A situation in which the class of emergency is a "General Emergency" with a recommendation for PROTECTIVE ACTION to be taken and the Make County Marning Point Telecommunicator is UNABLE to notify any key official within five (5) minutes. 2. An incident in which the counties have direction and control and the State is unable to assume immediate effective coordination. 3. The State of North Carolina has established the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) at it's headquarters in Raleigh and has assumed direction and control at the request of the four counties or the Governor has issued a "Disaster Declaration."

  • For Immediate Release Curtis Media Announces Expansion Into Radio Networks
    For Immediate Release Curtis Media Announces Expansion Into Radio Networks Raleigh-based Curtis Media Group announces the formation of a News Network Division which will distribute News, Weather, Sports, and Entertainment programs to other Radio Stations. As a part of this new expansion, Curtis Media Group is acquiring The North Carolina News Network from Capitol Broadcasting Company. The North Carolina News Network was originally founded in the Early 1950’s, and currently serves 72 affiliated stations in North Carolina. The current Network has a weekly cume audience in excess of 650,000. The population area covered by the network serves the entire state. Curtis also announces the formation of a News Sports Network which will syndicate a Taylor Zarzour – hosted three hour Sports Talk Program and the popular David Glenn three hour Daily Sports Talk Program. Locally Zarzour will be heard on WDNC from 9am to Noon, and Glenn’s program will be aired Noon – 3PM on 99.9 the Fan. Two existing Curtis Media Networks, Southern Farm Network and State Government Radio will be merged into the new division. Southern Farm Network distributes Farm Programming to Radio Stations in the NC, SC, Virginia, and Florida areas. State Government Radio specializes in local in depth coverage of Political and Government News in North Carolina, and is distributed primarily over the Internet. The new Network Division has plans to begin syndication of several three hour weekly music programs, a daily one hour Talk Program, and a daily one-hour Afternoon Drive News Block. “This is a very logical expansion for us,” stated Curtis Media CEO and Founder, Don Curtis.
