John Joseph Manning III died Thursday, June 25th, 2008.
John was the founding station general manager of WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, the broadcast radio service of Bexley Public Radio Foundation. His approach to scheduling and production of program content laid a solid foundation for the orderly growth of WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM. As station general manager, John worked closely with the station’s program chairwoman and the officers of Bexley Public Radio Foundation. He provided intelligent and reliable service to the broadcast operations of WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM.
John also hosted the John Manning Morning Show on WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM. His morning show provided a comfortable mix of Bexley weather, astronomical data and editorial information from The Old Farmer’s Almanac and other resources.
During the hour-long morning show, John also provided updates on local Bexley news from The New Standard, The Eastside Messenger, Bexley News, The Catholic Times and The Bexley High School Torch. On his show, John also high-lighted information from the New York Times, The Financial Times and The Christian Science Monitor.
His favorite newspaper was The New York Times and each morning, even before John arrived at the radio studio, he had read his copy of The New York Times. John was a calm and intelligent interviewer of studio guests. Some of John’s memorable interviews included district politicians, faculty from Ohio State University, Ohio Dominican University, Capital University and Trinity Seminary.
He was also a regular participant in discussions with stock broker Frank Ingwersen and investment adviser Kevin Kale on the mid-morning Wall Street update. John was also a regular participant with gardening questions on Amy Maurer’s Noontime Gardener Show.
John was active in promoting rail passenger service for central Ohio. He was a longtime member of All Aboard Ohio and lobbied for public finance of passenger rail service. He regularly provided his radio listeners with information about developments in rail passenger service.
John Manning’s contributions to establishing a public radio service for the Bexley community were enormous and he is missed by his radio station colleagues and regular listeners to WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM.

Bexley, Ohio. Student radio station internships
STUDENT RADIO STATION INTERNSHIPS. A comparison of how two universities pay attention to opportunities for their students to acquire radio skills and very practical broadcast experience.
WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Local Power Radio has requested assistance from two local post-secondary educational institutions to offer radio internships to their students. WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM is the community radio service of Bexley, Ohio.
The first school was contacted on Thursday August 2. Since then two representatives have acknowledged the request. One referred WCRX-LP to a faculty member. The professor acknowledged the request and has not otherwise responded. This offer appears pretty much to be dead in the water unless WCRX-LP makes addtional effort.
The second school was contacted on Monday August 13 and responded on the same day with instructions for posting the notice at the school.
Here is the proposal made to each school.
The proposal is a list of existing and proposed radio programs on WCRX-LP, !02.1 FM, Local Power Radio that can provide broadcast experience for students. Both production and on-air broadcast experience are offered to students by WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Local Power Radio.
Some of the business and finance productions might be of particular interest to students in business and economics courses.
WCRX-LP broadcasts each week day from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
WCRX-LP is an affiliate of Pacifica Foundation in Berkeley California.
In the event there is student interest in these intern opportunities, WCRX-LP can expand its hours in accordance with the time-share agreement.
WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM, Local Power Radio is also interested in learning what students will need to do to be eligible for class credit if they participate in any of these intern opportunities.
