*In the small, tight-knit Cape Cod radio community, Eric Christensen was a fixture for years, first at iHeart’s stations and more recently at the Cape Cod Radio cluster that just changed hands to the new Coxswain Communications group.
Christensen, whose real name was Eric Anzalone, did events and promotions and was on the air as “Eric the Prozak” at “Frank” WFRQ (93.5) and its sister stations – but he was much more, too.
“He was always there. He had your back. He did airport pickups. He drove to transmitter sites in storms. He was THEEE Wingman. But most importantly he was the fiercest of friends,” said Coxswain OM Steve McVie Solomon in a Facebook post as news spread of Christensen’s death Wednesday night.
Police found Christensen on the floor of his Hyannis kitchen and rushed him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound. Investigators found a bullet hole in the kitchen window, but so far that’s all they’ve said about the killing, which has left Christensen’s many friends on the Cape distraught and puzzled.
The Cape Cod native was just 50.
Behold, the 2025 calendar!
We chose the 100,000-watt transmitter of the Voice Of America in Marathon, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. This picture has everything we like in our covers — blue skies, greenery, water, and of course, towers! The history behind this site is a draw, too.
Other months feature some of our favorite images from years past, including some Canadian stations and several stations celebrating their centennials (can you guess? you don’t have to if you buy the calendar!).
We will ship daily through Christmas Eve. Place your order now for immediate shipping!
This will be the 24th edition of the world-famous Tower Site Calendar, and your support will determine whether it will be the final edition.
It’s been a complicated few years here, and as we finish up production of the new edition, we’re considering the future of this staple of radio walls everywhere as we evaluate our workload going forward.
The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the new Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the new Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025 ready to ship, too. Why not order both?)
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the next calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
