ARTHUR A. SCHREIBER
A Brief Biographical Account
Arthur A. Schreiber was eight years old and living on an Ohio farm when he first began listening to the radio. He promised himself that one day the voice coming over the airwaves would be his voice. He kept the promise.
After two years in the U.S. Army and earning a college degree, he got his first job with a radio station in East LIverpool, Ohio. He began work as a radio news broadcast reporter. Eventually his career took him to California where he became general manager of KFWB-‐AM in Los Angeles. For a time, he also ran Westinghouse Radio’s national and international news service operations in Washington D.C.
During his career in radio broadcast news, Art interviewed such notables as John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Beatles.
Eventually his radio broadcast career took him to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he was general manager for KOB-‐AM and KOB-‐FM, two of the state’s major broadcast radio stations, owned at the time by Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc.
His life changed dramatically when he became legally blind in 1982.
After facing total despair, Art plotted his return to the top while learning to live life in a new way in a new world. His refusal to fold his tent when his eyesight failed and his struggle to live life to the fullest will inspire any person who reads his story. Art’s greatest reward in life is encouraging and motivating others who face similar challenges.
