msrpk.com
is the successor in interest to PK Communications, which was
founded in 1978 in New York by Paul Kaminski, as Sportcom
Associates. The company produced ad hoc coverage of auto racing
events until 1988, when it activated the Motor Sports Radio
Network, and began production of "Race-Talk" on April 1, 1988 on a
two station network in upstate New York. The program continued
production until January 1990, when Paul was recalled to active
duty in the United States Army for Operations Desert Shield/Storm.
He served as Broadcast Supervisor, Soldiers Radio and TV, and News
Director, Armed Forces Desert Network, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Upon
his return to civilian life, Paul resumed production of
"Race-Talk" and began production of a feature called
"Radio-Road-Test", which was, and continues to be, a program of
driving impressions of American and foreign cars and light trucks.
Both programs began national radio syndication on January 28,
1993. "Race-Talk" ceased production on January 25, 2013, and the
Motor Sports Radio Network suspended operations thereafter.
