SOME ROCK AND ROLL RADIO HISTORY
WABC radio fired DJ Alan Freed on November 21, 1959 after
he refused to sign a FCC statement denying that he had
accepted money for promoting records, a practice known
as "payola."
While WABC cited its "contractual right to terminate," the
dismissal happened amid a larger payola scandal that
ultimately ruined his career.
Albert James "Alan" Freed
(December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965)

Christopher Latham Sholes patented the QWERTY typewriter, revolutionizing communication. His first version was cobbled
together using an old table, a circular piece of glass, a telegraph
key and piano wire.
