Claire Crawford became an announcer for Boston’s (and the nation’s) first all-female radio station, WASN (Air Shopping News) back in 1927, owned by John Shepard 3rd, who also owned the Yankee Network.

Crawford was soon promoted to program manager of another Shepard Station, WBIS; and then pursued an interest in sales and advertising.
