Beginning his broadcast career in 1947 on radio station WFRO in Fremont, Ohio, Bob Norgard became the beacon of Cleveland-Style polkas in Northwest Ohio, Eastern India, Southern Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Establishing his first polka program in 1948, Bob featured the recording of Slovenian, German, Czech, Polish, and other nationality artists. After a ten-year intermission for health reasons, Bob resumed his carer in 1982 at WCLO-FM in Clyde, Ohio. Bob's "Polka Parade" column in The Polka News has provided fams with an ongoing chronicle of new recordings.
