One of the most well-known disc jockeys in Lynchburg once wanted to get into
radio so badly that he built his own illegal station.
That was almost 30 years ago.

((MADD LADD/WJJS DISC JOCKEY: JAMMIN' WJJS. MADD LADD IN THE MORNING.))
((TEENAGE GIRL: YEAH, I LIKE HIM A LOT, TOO.))
((MADD LADD: TIME TO GET YOUR TAIL ON THE TRAIL!))
He's been on the air at WJJS for so long that two generations of listeners
have tuned in the Madd Ladd.
((OLDER MAN: WE USED TO LISTEN TO HIM QUITE OFTEN.))
Quite a career for a deejay who was "discovered" by the radio police.
((MADD LADD/WJJS DISC JOCKEY: BUILT MY OWN BOOTLEG RADIO STATION. JUST GOT ON
THE AIR PLAYING ARETHA FRANKLIN AND ARTHUR CONLEY AND "RESPECT" AND EVERYTHING.
GOT CAUGHT BY THE GOOD OLD F-C-C. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. NO LICENSE,
NO WHATEVER AND SO FORTH. AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS A RADIO
STATION IN THE AREA THAT WAS, I WOULDN'T SAY FAILING, BUT NEEDED A NEW
AUDIENCE, YOU MIGHT SAY. AND THAT WAS WDMS A-M AND F-M. AND THE GUYS FROM THAT
KNOCKED ON MY DOOR A LITTLE AFTER THE F-C-C CLOSED ME DOWN, AND SAID THEY
WANTED TO START A RADIO STATION PREDOMINANTLY TOWARD THE BLACK COMMUNITY. AND
THEY CALLED IT WJJS F-M. AND I WAS ONE THE FIRST PEOPLE THEY HIRED.
That was April, 1968. The Ladd of 15 would finish classes at Lynchburg's
Dunbar High School, then run to the station to go on the air.
With a few interruptions, including time off for college, he's been on the
staff of WJJS ever since.
After nearly 30 years in radio, what does this guy do in his spare time? He
goes home -- and collects radios!
((MADD LADD: VOLUME CONTROL. STATION ON THE BOTTOM))
Seriously collects radios.
((VOICE OF MADD LADD: THESE ARE THE TRANS- OCEANIC SHORTWAVE RADIOS MADE BY
ZENITH. THEY'RE REAL RARE. THEY WERE POPULAR IN WORLD WAR II AND SO FORTH.))
Radios your great-grandfather might have owned.
((MADD LADD: THIS IS AN ORIGINAL ATWATER- KENT. IT'S ABOUT A 1926 MODEL RIGHT
HERE.))
One room of his house is a floor-to-ceiling museum of radios. More than 200
in all, and most of them work.
((MADD LADD: NOW, THESE ARE MY SWEETHEARTS RIGHT HERE. A PHILCO ORIGINAL 90B.
1931.))
Another room is filled with radios waiting to be fixed. Ladd restores them
himself, on a workbench in his basement.
He enjoys working on a radio almost as much as he enjoys talking on the
radio. Or is it the other way around?
((VOICE OF MADD LADD: IT'S A LOT OF FUN. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.))
There's radio. And then there's the rest of your life. What's the ratio
there?
((MADD LADD: I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S A LOT. I'M NOT KIDDING. 'CAUSE THERE'S A RADIO
IN EVERY ROOM, EVERYWHERE. I MEAN, IT'S JUST GOT TO BE, OR WHATEVER. YOU KNOW,
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING ELSE BUT RADIO.))
Imagine feeling that way about YOUR job. Ted Stone, News 7.))
