Ron Engelman's show gained a little traction and he developed a devoted, but small, following. Among the people listening were the Branch Davidians in Waco, about 85 miles south of Dallas. When the 1993 standoff with the Davidians took place, Engelman found out they were listening and got them to put banners out a window. His show was devoted to the standoff almost every day until the fiery end. He had calls from all over the world from family members of people still in the compound. At least two sect members came out of the compound and surrendered after family members were interviewed on Engelman's show. At one point, Engelman tried to get into the compound, but was turned back by the FBI. Engelman continued to devote most of his show to the Davidians and the aftermath of the fire for weeks after it happened. Station management was not happy with this and Engelman ultimately announced his departure - to the surprise of management - at the end of a show.
