The Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia

Broadcast Pioneers member Max Solomon started selling radio time in 1929. In 2001 whenthis interview was recorded, he had been retired for over 30 years and lived year round in Florida. Solomon in the fall of 2001 moved back to the Philly area to be around friends and his family. Max, 95 at the time of this interview, and his wife and been married for 75 years, that's three-quarters of a century.

On September 19, 2001, Max was visiting relatives here in Philadelphia. His grandson, Roger Krone, a member of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia, is a time salesman (following in Max's footsteps) for Power 99, WUSL Radio. Roger brought Max E. Solomon, also one of our members, along to our meeting and afterwards, our former President, Pat Delsi sat down and talked with Max about his life-long career in broadcast sales on our webcast series, PIONEERS IN BROADCASTING.
