Video bio of Bill Shirk, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2016;
Bill Shirk graduated from Ball State in 1967 with a degree in education and initially worked as a repairman and as an account executive for his dad’s advertising agency. He taught a year of middle school in 1965 then talked his dad and mother into applying for the license for WERK-FM in Muncie, Indiana.

He now owns 12 radio stations in Hawaii and does mornings on the oldies station in Honolulu.
