His induction into the Country Music Disc Jockey Hall of Fame in March of 2004 recognized Stratton for his long radio career, which includes work at WPLO, Atlanta, WUBE, Cincinnati, WMIL, Milwaukee, where he served as program director, and twenty years in Houston at KENR and KNUZ Radio. In 1973, he was part of the team that brought the first number one ratings in all demographics, twelve years plus, to a major market country station (KENR). Dr. Bruce's 11.9 share of the audience in the forty-four station major market has yet to be duplicated. In 1974, Bruce was named Music Director of the Year at the Gavin Radio Conference in Kansas City. He holds over fifty record company awards for his part in establishing the careers of stars such as Freddy Fender, Mickey Gilley, Gene Watson, Johnny Lee and many others. Stratton is considered a pioneer of today's modern country music format, being among the first to advocate a departure from yesterday's "corn-pone" approach to country music, and to strive for professional radio first. Dr. Bruce has spent over thirty years working in the major markets before coming to the coastal bend eight years ago, and was also a inducted into the Country Music Association of Texas Hall of Fame in the fall of 1999.

I got my start in radio in February of 1995 from a mysterious stranger who recommended me to then 97.5 KWVS - The Waves "Classic Rock."  I began working the overnight shift and within six weeks I went to mid-days. In May 1995, we changed our format to country and I was in Heaven! Under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Nelson Stratton, I have learned the in and outs of production, programming, management, and public service. My ultimate goal is to work in Houston, TX as a jock and music programmer. Until then, I am very happy to be a part of the Quality Broadcasting family.
