Michael D. Thompson, aka as Doc Thompson has been fired from WRVA and WLW700 while on his honeymoon. Thank you WRVA and WLW700 for making our communities a better place to live in.
Before he became the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan was president of Screen Actors Guild -- during two significant periods.
Reagan, who began his career as a star of radio, film and television, first served the Guild as president from March 1947 through November 1952 (after serving previously as 3rd vice president and on the board). During this period, storied for its political and labor strife, his leadership paved the way for SAG's first contract in television, among other accomplishments.
At the request of the SAG National Board, Reagan returned to the SAG presidency in 1959 in order to head 1960 theatrical negotiations that ultimately resulted in the first pension and health plan for SAG members, not to mention residuals on films shot January 31, 1960, and after (once they were replayed on television).
