Arthur
James Mosby
(1888 - 1970) |
Art brought
the first radio and television stations to Missoula.
After receiving a license in 1930, Mosby constructed
a transmitter from a diagram and parts list in an
amateur radio magazine. It worked, and KGVO took
the air in 1931. In 1954, Mosby established KMSO-TV
on Channel 13 in Missoula. Mosby also was instrumental
in bringing the CBS Radio Network to Montana. One
of Mosby's early employees was Paul Harvey, who
told his national audience on the day of A.J. Mosby's
death: "He will be buried in the shelter of
the white-fanged Rockies in the valley which he
watered with his sweat and fertilized with his footprints
through a fruitful lifetime." |
