Cynthia Smith reflects on Frankie Crocker's influence, stating, "At the time that I started, Frankie was program director, so I got an opportunity to just really kind of see how he operated. He was all about gut and hits, and he played songs that people wouldn't really think that maybe 'BLS would play or break. But that was just his way." This underscores Crocker’s role as an audacious programmer who reshaped radio culture.
Smith also noted Crocker's enduring impact, saying, "His legacy is that strong that sometimes people even call up to the front desk and say, 'Hey, I want to speak to Frankie Crocker.' Frankie Crocker's reputation has just, you know, transcended, and it continues to be present. I have huge shoulders that I stand on." This illustrates how Crocker's vision continues to resonate.
