This is a Special Edition of the Shaping Opinion Podcast called “13Q: A Top 40 Radio Story.” In this extended episode (90 minutes), we take you back to when it was all about the music, when radio was everywhere. A time when it was all about the culture, but mostly it was about having fun. In this episode, we talk to the people who were behind the mic and in front of it, telling at least a part of the story of one generation. We do it by telling the story of the last big Top 40 radio station in the form of 13Q, Pittsburgh. It was around for only a short time, but its impact would be felt for decades. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/13Q_-_Top_40_Radios_Last_Dance_auphonic.mp3 Cecil Heftel was born in Chicago on September 30th, 1924. He died at the ripe old age of 85 in 2010. later. He did many things in that time, but our focus here is on just one of those things. Heftel is best remembered as a congressman from Hawaii, where he served from 1977 to 1986. But his story started long before that. Heftel made a name for himself as an innovator in Top 30 radio when he bought a Denver station called KIMN. That station became #1 in its market and then he sold it in 1960 before moving to Hawaii. 13Q music survey 1974 In 1973, he got back in the radio game when he bought a Fort Lauderdale radio station on the FM dial – WHYI-FM and he re-named it Y-100. That same year, he bought an AM news/talk station in Pittsburgh called WJAS. That's when things would change. Cecil Heftel was coming to Pittsburgh and winning was the only option. On March 12th 1973, Heftel rocked the Pittsburgh radio world when he introduced Pittsburghers to something they had never heard before. A Top-40 rock station that didn't go by call letters, but by a number and a letter. 13Q. And a kind of Top 40 sound…well…you just had to hear it. This wasn't your father's Top 40 radio.  Starting in 1973 and for just a short eight years, 1320 on the AM dial would be WKTQ – 13Q – and would leave its mark on the region's baby boom generation that was still in school or just coming of age. Heftel owned and operated his stations from Honolulu, Hawaii. At 13Q, he said he couldn't find the local people he wanted, so he turned to out-of-towners.  His initial line-up was: Sam Holman, who used to work for cross-town rival KQV. Holman came back to Pittsburgh from Chicago to man the mic for morning drive. Dennis Waters came to Pittsburgh from Washington, D.C., to handle mid-days. Mark Driscoll was recruited from LA to handle the afternoon and evening drive. Jackson Armstrong, brought his one-man wrecking ball of a show into the studio at 6 p.m. And two guys came to Pittsburgh via Phoenix. Batt Johnson took to the mic from 10 p.m. – 2:00 a.m., and Dave Brooks held the fort overnight from 2-6 a.m. The sound, the format, the call letters, the brand and the team were all the work of a radio legend who went by the name of Buzz Bennett. Cecil Heftel wanted a winner, so he hired a winner to put it all together. Buzz Bennett was born for a life in radio. He was a Baltimore kid who at 13 years old, finagled his way onto Baltimore's big TV dance show, The Buddy Deane Show. Before long, he was a dancer on the show and helping vet the show's music. 13Q Radio studios in the Kossman Building in Downtown Pittsburgh, circa 1973. He parlayed his success as a teenager to the point where he was a program director and a DJ at a radio station in Arkansas at the age of 16. The radio world took notice. After such early success, he made stops back in Baltimore and then around the country, learning the ins and outs of radio from Top 40 pioneers and legendary programmers, until one day, he became a legend himself. He was an innovator in his own right. Everywhere he went, his stations won, they won big, they dominated their markets. 13Q would take over the Pittsburgh Top 40 radio mark, knocking KQV Radio off of its perch.

As you probably have heard, KQV is going out of business and, sadly, this will be our final show on this station. We intend to keep the show going and have a promising alternative but no agreement yet. We will keep you posted. But, there is other significant news too. For better or worse, President Trump just signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law. The tax reform is significant for both businesses and individuals, but this show will concentrate on how individual taxpayers might cut their taxes. Because of the unique timing of the tax law changes, this is the most important year-end tax radio show we have had. You only have a couple of weeks to adjust your year-end planning. This week, on The Lange Money Hour, Jim Lange and journalist Deborah L. Jacobs, the author of several books including; Estate Planning Smarts: A Practical, User-Friendly, Action-Oriented Guide, will be discussing these critical year-end tax planning action points regarding itemized deductions: Pay for items you deduct on your itemized deductions so you can claim them this year. The higher standard deduction in 2018 could mean that even if you can itemize deductions, the tax benefit might not be worth it. Your tax rate might be lower, what will that mean?

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto will likely see a second term in office after defeating two challengers in the May primary election—everyone locally is familiar with his name. But, President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement pushed Peduto’s name into the national spotlight. When Trump justified his actions claiming to represent the people of Pittsburgh, the Mayor struck back saying, “I’m appalled that the President used my city to justify his unacceptable decision, as most other Pittsburghers are. I was one of the nation’s mayors who went to Paris to fight for the accords, and my city, which has finally bounced back from decades of industrial carnage, will do all it can to promote its own environmental standards.” Further, he and the mayor of Paris, Ann Hidalgo, published an op-ed in The New York Times. "The Mayors of Pittsburgh and Paris: We Have Our Own Climate Deal" stressing their mutual commitment to “embracing the global challenge of climate change.” So… three weeks later, how does the Mayor feel about that clash with the President? For an answer to that question and many more, join us on this episode on KQV as CPA and Attorney Jim Lange interviews Mayor Peduto. Get up to date on: • The Mayor’s goals for his second term • The current state of the City’s finances and the long-term outlook • Current and upcoming development projects • How the City is tackling infrastructure repairs, including ongoing water and sewer issues • How Pittsburgh is affected by the unusual political circumstances in Washington, D.C. • And… Pittsburgh’s role in the driverless car revolution KQV will rebroadcast the show this Sunday at 9:05 a.m. The audio will also be archived on our web site at www.paytaxeslater.com/radioshow.php, along with a written transcript. *All investing involves risk, including the potential for loss of principal.

Investing in low-cost index funds has risen sharply over the last 20 years – and for good reason. Studies have shown that the S&P 500 has historically outperformed the vast majority of active money managers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you should be a “do it yourself” investor. DIY investors can fall victim to some very common mistakes – the biggest of which is letting their emotions -- rather than logic and data -- dictate their decisions. In fact, the numbers show that when investors listen to their “gut,” they’re wrong two out of every three times! On this episode of The Lange Money Hour, CPA and Attorney Jim Lange will welcome back his frequent guest and nationally recognized investment advisor, P.J. DiNuzzo, CEO of Pittsburgh-based DiNuzzo Index Advisors, Inc. P.J. and Jim will discuss the added value that a qualified, low-fee advisor who takes his or her fiduciary responsibility (acting in your best interest) seriously can bring to the investor/client relationship. Examples include: • Expertise on asset allocation. • Recommendations for Social Security planning. • Evaluating the options and the merits of Roth IRA conversions. • Understanding and planning for your future—not some generic future. • Offering reassurance in turbulent times to help you stick to a safe course of action. • Developing a coordinated and comprehensive financial plan that addresses short-term, long-term, and estate planning needs, as well as dreams and wishes—you might be very surprised to learn that you do have the resources for that dream vacation or a vacation home.

New leadership in Washington always brings with it an element of uncertainty for Americans, as both citizens and investors. In 2017, that uncertainty has been heightened following the unprecedented election of Donald J. Trump – the first man ever elected to the nation’s highest office without political or military experience. If you’ve followed the headlines, you know that President Trump’s first 90 days in office have been a rollercoaster ride. And for investors, one of the biggest unanswered questions is what the President will do when it comes to taxes. Last week, the White House announced that the President is scrapping the tax reform plan that he touted during his campaign in favor of a new plan – one that likely won’t be ready by a previously announced August deadline. When the new plan does arrive, will it still resemble the campaign plan? Or will Trump offer an olive branch to Democrats to try to get a deal done? In this episode of The Lange Money Hour: Where Smart Money Talks, CPA/Attorney Jim Lange will welcome back to the program Roberton Williams from the independent/nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Bob joined Jim last fall to discuss how Trump’s tax policy proposals compared to Hillary Clinton’s. Now he’ll take a fresh look at the President’s past promises – and what might lie ahead. Jim and Bob will cover topics like: • What a Trump tax reform plan might look like • Whether Trump’s recent tax talk resembles what he promised on the campaign trail • The current status of potential tax changes • If individual tax rates go down, will they likely go up in the future? • If so, would that make it a great time to do a Roth IRA conversion?
