"Memories In Melody" VP, producer and JACK ELLSWORTH's daughter SUSAN SHIEBLER added: "It is truly an honor to be welcomed so warmly into the highly esteemed JVC BROADCASTING family. My father's dream was to see the best music of the 20th century endure with an emphasis on the heart of radio and a relationship with the listeners.  To have decades of his passionate and tireless work appreciated by [JVC CEO/President] JOHN [CARACCIOLO] and VIC and their team opens many new possibilities. The greatest way to honor JACK and DOT ELLSWORTH's radio legacy is to keep it alive, and that was their hope. We are so grateful to JVC BROADCASTING as we work together to uphold this time-honored tradition of great music and radio the way it should be."
