Bo McLeod – Editor & Publisher of The Donalsonville News

A guy sitting at a teletype machine in the press box in Panama City, or Dothan, or
Montgomery, etc., would type a pitch-by-pitch description of the game. My father, from the studio downtown would pull the wire copy and embellish the typed description with his own banter adding sound effects such as the bat hitting the ball or the catcher’s mitt. He’d add crowd noise and turn it up for home runs and other big plays. Anyone listening to the game in Pensacola would swear it was originating from location. But, of course, it was not. |

Frank Pericola – Pericola spent 60 years in the news business and the last
30 as sports editor and then editor….of The Panama City News Herald. When the Panama City Fliers came up to Graceville, Donalsonville, or Dothan to play, WDLP Radio in Panama City would have Sonny Harris be doing the play by play and Frank Pericola would help him. |
