Washington, D.C.—The University of the District of Columbia Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives welcomes jazz music specialist and veteran radio broadcaster Paul Anthony to the JAZZforum series on April 13, 2011 from 7-9 PM.
A familiar voice to Washington, D.C. listeners for over 45 years, Paul Anthony produced shows devoted to jazz for radio station WRC in Washington, DC (1966 to 1972); National Public Radio (1972 to 1979); for radio station WGMS in Washington, DC (1980 to 1990); and for SIRIUS Satellite Radio's Pure Jazz 72. His extensive television announcing includes the programs “Washington Week" and “America's Most Wanted," in addition to many PBS-TV and Discovery Channel programs.
