After leaving WTEV, he did some work with a UHF station licensed to Providence, but mostly retired to run a "KOA" campground he had built in Westport. He died several years ago leaving the campground to his son. |

I first worked with George Costa at WALE radio in Fall River. I was a high school kid doing a Sunday 3-11:15pm shift alone. George was hired during that time as the engineer. I think he was just out of the military. I started at 75-cents per hour but there was a federal minimum wage hike to $1/hour and that was too much for the station. I got laid off and George had the long shift added to his duties at no increase in weekly wage. |
