Off the Dial

It's 1978 and 'Fast Eddie' Mason is on deadline to sell enough air-time to fund his purchase of KDWG Dawg Radio. When Eddie's chief competitors, Graft & Rob Broadcasting, unleash KSFL San Francisco Lite which threatens his ambition to become a coast-to-coast radio legend as a man with a particular flair for turning radio air-time into big-time cash money. But Eddie has never yet buckled under to any of his competition -- even when they come into a fight with very deep pockets! Casey Stangl's newest novel, "Off The Dial" clearly benefits from his years of experience in the radio broadcasting industry where he has been an on-air DJ, programmer, a former vice-president of KQMQ radio in Honolulyu, and an owner-operator of KIKI and I-94 radio. A superbly gifted storyteller, Stangl laces his novel with radio industry details as he conjures up a memorable cast of characters to populate the very special world of American media in general, and local radio in particular. Very highly recommended and entertaining, "Off The Dial" is an engaging and compelling read that is exceptionally well crafted with humor and industry insights from beginning to end.
