Broadway Joe Booker is an endangered species. Easily grouped into the most recognized names in Arkansas radio, and arguably all Arkansas broadcasting, he has spent more than half his life on the airwaves, including nearly four decades in Little Rock alone, uninterrupted save for a six-month dalliance with a major urban station in his native South Carolina. An elder statesman of the airwaves, he is one of only a few remaining personalities who can legitimately call himself a former disc jockey from the era before mandated corporate playlists and preprogrammed digital feeds.
