In this episode of PV Talks, host Steve Bracety sits down with longtime friend and broadcasting pioneer Sanford Cohen, co-owner of Arizona’s Hometown Radio Group.
Sanford shares stories from his 40 years in radio—starting from a converted dentist’s office in Prescott Valley to running the nation’s first solar-powered FM station with the most extensive listenership in Northern Arizona.
From surviving 9/11, the Great Recession, and the pandemic, to building a family-run business alongside his wife, Terry, Sanford reflects on the resilience, community spirit, and innovation that have sustained the thriving presence of local radio.
Along the way, he talks icons like Paul Harvey, brushes with sports legends, his passion for the blues, and the role of local radio in an age of digital noise.
Tune in for an inspiring journey through small-town beginnings, big-time milestones, and the enduring power of radio to connect communities.
