Bill Francis: former ZB station manager on ZB's 100-year anniversary

The man who stood at the helm of Newstalk ZB for 17 years has weighed in on its 100-year anniversary.  Today marks a century since the radio station's first broadcast.  Bill Francis joined ZB in the early 80's and became station manager in 1993.  He says it was a tough start, with the station dropping from number one in the market to number six - forcing it to change its format. "Once it got back in front, you know it's just never really stopped, it continues to be Auckland's radio station - a first choice. Which is wonderful. So yeah, I'm delighted that ZB rolls on."
