The People Behind Rock Around The World

Rock Around The World was created through the talent, dedication and imagination of an extraordinary group of people. Producers, radio hosts, writers, editors, photographers, engineers, artists, salespeople, administrators and distributors worked together to bring the radio program and newspaper to audiences across America and around the world.

Presented in chronological order—from the beginning of Rock Around The World through its final productions—this page recognizes the people who helped make it possible and preserves their place in its history.

We sincerely apologize to anyone whose name has been unintentionally omitted. Rock Around The World’s history spans many years, and some records are incomplete. Anyone who contributed and is not included is invited to contact us so that we may properly recognize their work.
