A unique aspect of the small 20 KW station was the quality of broadcast talent that began careers there. Program Director Ron Rumley and General Manager Lee Rutherford were former newsmen at WIFE-AM, Indianapolis during the height of its 1970s success. The pair brought a major market quality to the sound of the small station, attracting talent from larger nearby markets such as Dayton, Ohio. Rumley and Rutherford were quite skilled at discovering and developing talent locally. Broadcasters such as Lee Riley (Dayton, Ohio country music radio personality), Dave Thomas (Denver, Colorado newscaster), Chris Graves (Columbus, Ohio broadcast executive), Doug Ritter (Doug Ritterling - San Francisco, California radio and TV broadcaster), Darrel Schick (30-year newscaster, Dayton, Ohio), Mark Bixler (Peoria, Illinois newscaster), Neil Schwanitz (Detroit, Michigan engineer) started their careers at WDRK.
