Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Broadcast legend Wink Martindale on how he taught himself how to become a radio announcer at a very young age with the help of Life magazine; what makes a good game show and how, in many ways, he learned the nuances of hosting a game show from Tic Tac Dough producer Dan Enright; his long association with Elvis Presley; and how the spoken word recording Deck of Cards changed his life and continues to touch people today. Wink’s new spoken word recording, Heavenly Child (a salute to the life of Elvis), will be available soon via iTunes. Wink also hosts and co-produces The 100 Greatest Christmas Hits of All Time, which will be heard on hundreds of radio stations throughout the country this holiday season
