In Bed with Broadcasting

A Memoir

By: Ken Davis

Narrated by: Ken Davis

Ken Davis began his career as a small-town radio DJ during his college years. Little did he know he would later find himself face-to-face with a notorious serial killer in the middle of the night; be nearly shot by a world-famous music producer; or unexpectedly come across the lifeless body of a legendary Hollywood bombshell. Along the way, he hung out with everyone from Barack Obama to Walter Cronkite to Sting.

These are but a few of the many adventures in Davis's memoir about his colorful Emmy-award-winning career in television. But this is much more than a tell-all book filled with juicy anecdotes about famous people. It's a down-to-earth and often humorous story of a man who must juggle his family and his mistress while trying to overcome adversity, ethical dilemmas, and an industry going through relentless change.

Along the way, listeners get a backstage pass to many classic TV programs, including "The CBS Evening News," "EXTRA," "PBS NewsHour," and "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," as well as venture inside the most historic TV station in the country. Prepare to go behind the closed doors of one of the most enjoyable, harrowing, and seductive industries in the world. Once you hop "In Bed with Broadcasting," you may love her or you may want to run for cover but you will never forget her.

KEN DAVIS is a multi-Emmy Award-winning producer, writer, and on-air reporter who has worked for all the major TV networks in news and entertainment. Beginning as the nation's youngest TV anchorman, he went on to work with Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and dozens of other prominent broadcasters and entertainers. In addition to his Emmys, Davis has been honored with three Golden Mikes, two Genesis Awards, and is a member of the John Muir High School (Pasadena, CA) distinguished alumni Hall of Fame. He resides in Southern California.

Even better in the audio version

Loved the printed version of this book, but the audio version?… Wow! Ken’s broadcasting voice brings the entire story alive. Having read the book first, I knew what to expect in each chapter, and yet, it all felt new again and completely engaging. Easy to see (and hear!) how Ken was so successful in this line of work. He loved what he did and he was damn good at it too! Great job, Ken! Wishing you continued success in all your future endeavors—with or without your mistress!!!

The authors genuine life story.

I really liked that the author narrated the book himself. An amazing history getting to be present in so many amazing circumstances- The book is an easy read and one you don’t want to put down.
