The War of the Worlds Broadcast: Panic and Media Revolution

On October 30, 1938, a seemingly ordinary Sunday evening turned into a night of mass panic and hysteria. Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre on the Air had just performed a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel, “The War of the Worlds,” and what followed would become one of the most remarkable chapters in the history of media and public reaction. The Background: A Fictional Invasion Unleashed…

On non-work nights, Les and his friends would "fire up the transmitter" in his apartment complex's basement. At 9 PM, Les would turn on the mic and say "The Booger Brothers Broadcasting System is on the air!"

In Les' words: "Then we would all start jamming and go non-stop until 8:30 in the morning, with people all over Queens tuning us in. Some of the all-night joints would send us food and drinks in exchange for on-air plugs, and famous people would drop by and jam under phony names because they were under contract. There were no rules, no set format. We were just winging it and it took off. The Booger Brothers was just a name we made up to go with the crazy things we did and the greatest musicians in the world played some of the best jazz ever heard from that basement."

Donnie Simpson Sr is the son of a record store owner so he developed his love for radio and music early. By age 15, he was on Detroit's WJLB, staying there for the next eight years. In 1977, he moved to Washington, D.C. to host the morning show at WKYS which he did for the next 15 years. In 1993 he moved to Washington D.C's WPGC radio, staying there for 17 years. In 2003, Simpson signed an eight-figure, six-year deal with WPGC radio, making him the highest paid and first millionaire radio broadcaster without a nationally syndicated show. However, most know Simpson as the host of BET's 'Video Soul.' Simpson was an instant hit for the network and ultimately hosted the show for 14 years. Just about every hitmaker of the era came through to be on the show. In 2004, Simpson was inducted into the BET Walk of Fame. In 2015, he was inducted into the R&B Music Hall of Fame, the only non-musician to be so honored at that point. He has also won two Billboard Awards. In 2017, Simpson celebrated forty years on D.C. radio with a gala at D.C's Warner Theater. Although he retired in 2010, Simpson returned to radio and tv in 2017. He is currently the host of 'The Donnie Simpson Show' on Washington's WMMJ radio. #BlackHistory365 #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #BHM #BlackHistoryFacts #KnowledgeIsPower #BlackLivesMatter #Radio #radiopersonality #Host #radiohost #VJ #videoshow #USHistory #American #History #RadioHistory #Icon #Legend #Detroit #DC #WashingtonDC #BET #Video #videosoul #ChocolateCity #MotorCity #DMV (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUMGyOhzbL/?igshid=kcdmrmftap2d
