Following an injury that occurred during the Battle of the Bulge, Neal was transferred to Paris, France where he began his career in broadcasting with the Armed Forces Radio Service. In addition to KSYN, Neal owned WMBH and founded Joplin AM station KQYX. In 2000, Neal was honored with the Pioneer in Broadcasting Award from Missouri Southern State University in recognition of his groundbreaking work in the development of FM radio and for his role in popularizing the modern AM talk radio format. He is also one of only six individuals to be honored with the Lifetime Member award from the Missouri Broadcasters Association.
