The article gives short shrift to Zacherle's importance as a pioneer in New York radio's progressive rock programming. An editor with expert knowledge in this field should be encouraged to contribute. The News Hound 13:59, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Zacherle accepted a position with a radio station on the basis that he could program his show. A few weeks later, the station called a meeting of DJs and Zacherle came carrying the shopping bag he carried pretty much everywhere. Management announced centralized programming and Zacherle felt betrayed, stood up, and angrily starting screaming. Then, he reaches into his shopping bag. He pulls out a machine gun. People duck for cover. He pulls the trigger. Bang, said the flag that came out of the tip. Most DJs were replaced, but Zacherle was not fired.
