A few days later, Joseph Schenck arrived in Atlantic City and met with Donnie!
Joseph Schenck was already 46 years old this year, but his forehead had begun to bald. After exchanging pleasantries with Donnie, Donnie also told Joseph Schenck the reason he had invited him to Atlantic City, which was to ask him to take the position of ABC's president.
Facing this invitation, Joseph Schenck was momentarily unclear. He originally thought that Donnie had invited him to Atlantic City to discuss United Artists, but unexpectedly, it was to offer him the presidency of ABC!
"Mr. Block, first, I have never worked in commercial radio and am not clear about the specific operations of commercial radio, and secondly..."
At this point, Joseph Schenck hesitated before continuing, "Secondly, you have only heard my name and some things I've done in the past, how can you be sure that I am capable of holding the position of ABC president?"
