At the height of popularity for radio stations and DJs in the '70s and '80s, Curry blazed a trail for himself as “Kid” Curry. His iconic “Bed Check” segment helped propel him to star status in Miami. It followed him during his 20-year path to the dream job of Major Market program director. The perks of the job included hanging out with music legends, being invited to the White House, meeting Johnny U and a Watergate burglar, traveling around the world to find the next “number one” song and, the best part, helping listeners in need.

In 1986, a floodgate opened, changing radio forever. The FCC rescinded the “fairness doctrine” which eliminated the requirement to broadcast “contrasting points of view” on American broadcast TV and radio airwaves.

The Death of Fairness is a story shining a spotlight on the impact of this decision that hits a little too close to home and is based on actual events.
