Our program will honor the state's

Frank Aden

History of Idaho Broadcasting
Foundation Inc.
Frank during a recent rare visit with his dog Molly
As many of you know, Frank Aden helped
start HIBF with Art Gregory … and was at
the Foundation’s first meeting in May 2006
Sadly, Frank suffered total kidney failure in
November 2021, and has been confined to
a Nampa care center where he receives
Kidney Dialysis three times per week.
He will be at the February luncheon for a rare,
and appreciated return to the “real world,”
where he will be interviewed by HIBF
Marketing Coordinator Steve Bertel!
During the interview, we’ll learn about Frank’s
early fascination with Idaho television, and how
much of the information we know about Idaho TV
came from Frank Aden! We’ll also have rare audio
of the 1971 sign-on of Boise’s Channel 4 KAID-TV,
plus the February 1974 sign-on of
Nampa’s Channel 6, and radio audio from 1972,
as recorded by Frank Aden and Bill Frahm!
Don’t miss this interesting program with
Idaho’s most foremost TV Historian!
Frank Aden Jr!
We’ll be in the Aspen Room
that seats 49 people
