He owned and worked on-air WACT until his retirement in 1993. He was relieved as morning man by his oldest son Wally Price, who has been a personality in Tuscaloosa radio since the early 1970s. Price began his career at WKUL in Cullman, AL. He graduated from the University of Alabama School of Communication in 1952. WACT AM/FM was family-owned for forty years.
