The LAMP 25 Alumna Profile

A Date with Del

Del Ward, Brenau (GA) -Alpha Omicron, a recenr college graduate, was looking for a summer job before she began teaching in the fall. Her father, who worked at the Macon Telegraph, the leading newspaper in Central Georgia, knew the manager of radio station WNEX, in which the newspaper had recently bought an interest. The station needed a receptionist, and Del got the job.

This may not sound like a remarkable story, but given the fact that the year was 1947, and that the receptionist position would help Del become the nation's first female disc jockey on an all-night radio show in the early 1950s, it is an extraordinary one. Later, Del would be the first woman inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame in the career achievemenr category and an early member of American Women in Radio and TV

Del brought a love of music with her to WNEX and began reading the trade publications while working as a receptionist. 1l1en the radio manager asked her to do a short morning program called ''Across the Breakfast Table." Del says, "I wanted to reflect Macon in a positive light in that program. I would interview the person, write about them and read their story over the radio. I always visit with my subjects first to get to know them, and still do that to this day."

That first radio show gave Del the chance to shine. She added music to her show and started to "spin the platters," the term at the time for playing vinyl records on a turntable. She got a license and started working as a disc jockey, or OJ. But there was something more on the horizon. "I knew TV was coming," Del says.

Life on the small screen Traveling to New York, Del enrolled in New York University to study the art of the early television industry. "We knew something new was happening," she says of herself and the studenrs at NYU. "We didn't know what it was, but we wan ted to be a part of it."

She then set her sights for Chicago and what was to become the pioneering superstation WGN. The station programmed an all­ night record show, and Del was the OJ. While she could operate the board herself in Macon, WGN had a team of engineers who handled the mechanics behind the show, so that was new for Del. She did select the songs she would play, ranging from show tunes to pop and country music.

Del laughs when describing her audience. ''All-night listeners at that time were firemen, truck drivers and prisoners. But radio was a good companion for my listeners. They felt like they knew me and I felt like I knew them. For people who couldn't sleep, they relied on it. They would call to request songs."

At the time, she was not aware that she was breaking barriers as the first female all-night OJ on radio. "I was just doing my job, and I loved it," she says.

Because WGN was also a television station, Del had the Top: Del on the set ofher interview show on WJWAZ- TV in Macon, opportunity to do her first TV show. In TV's infancy, the Georgia.

She moved to Brenau College (now Brenau University) in Gainesville, G eorgia, to be closer ro home, and became a part of the Alpha Omicron Chapter.

"I loved living in the chapter house," she says. "You could relate to people one-to-one. On Sunday afternoons, we made fudge and sang Delta Zeta songs. What a bonding experience! "

At that time, Del would have been known as Delores to her Delta Zeta sisters, which was her name until she went to WNEX. "The man ager shortened Delores w 'Del,' which I have been known by ever since. If someone calls me 'Delores,' I know they knew me when I was very young."

Del met her first husband, attorney Hendley V. Napier, when she needed information about his mother, Viola Ross N apier, a city clerk who had become the fi rst woman elected to the Georgia legislature in 1920 (the first year in which women were permitted to vote) .
