He had a long career in the radio industry, starting as a salesman for Detroit's WJR-AM radio station in 1953. He eventually founded the media brokerage company Frank Boyle & Co. in Shelton in 1985, after many years working for the radio representation firm Eastman Radio, Inc. 'Dad was so well known in the business, he was a one-namer — like Cher or Beyonce,' said James Boyle, 66, who lives in San Diego. 'If people said ‘Frank in radio,' you knew they were talking about Frank Boyle.' His father's reputation in the business was so pervasive, James Boyle said, that he still couldn't escape the moniker of 'Frank's kid,' even while working on Wall Street as a broadcasting analyst.
