David Bernstein started at the top of the broadcast food chain as a teenager, but on the bottom rung, working as a page for Johnny Carson and Dick Clark. Eventually working his way into radio ownership as a partner in a group with stations in Reading PA and Greenville SC, he eventually had his own group in several small Pennsylvania markets back in the 1980s. Bernstein passed away Saturday, 5/1/10 at the age of 72.
