Words of Wisdom from Myron Cope

Elizabeth, Myron Cope’s daughter, believes her father would have been proud of this initiative. Reflecting on what advice he would give to young aspiring broadcasters, she shared, “Be yourself and don’t be afraid to take risks. Don’t let someone tell you that you don’t have the right voice or the right look.”
