A former radio type sent the staff a
very tentative plan for a WNOX
reunion. Tentative in the fact
that it is in the scribbling on
a cocktail napkin stage.
It (according to the old radio type)
would be called WNOX REWIND and it would
features jingles from WNOX from way
back when, former DJs and guests.
I remember a Knoxville radio
reunion a few hundred years ago
at the old Hyatt that invited
everyone who had been on the air
to return and tell lies. It was
broadcast on the old WMYU and
lasted for hours in the lobby.
Folk came from all around holding
up old T shirts and mugs and gazed in
horror at the now old fellows on the
rotating panel.
Not a clue how this one would work or where
it would be done BUT we did get the
list of those being considered to appear.
Question, would you give a rat's behind?
Also, who is not on the list that needs to be?
Read it and let us know, again this is
NOT our project (WNOX was one of the few
stations in this town we never had the
privilege of being fired from) but the
idea might be good IF anyone still cares?

Are you politically correct?
Yea I know it is a hard question because
there is really NO definition of the
term. WHAT is POLITICALLY CORRECT?
YOU really wanta know????
HERE IS THE ANSWER:
Political Correctness
The following is the winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the
most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was Political Correctness.
The winner wrote:
“Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

Bring back Frank Irwin, Jack Diamond, Gary Drake, Jim Deerman, Johnny Walker, Smoky Burns, Jefferson K, Johnny Mountain, The Brothers, Shotgun, Kay Manley, Sherry on WIMZ, Eddy Roy, Paul Oskar Anderson, and Your Dave Young
Sonny Knight (Carlos Kivett) has passed on, as has POA (Paul Brown).
Since Dr. Al Adams (Alan Johnson) was a competitor with WNOX while he was on WKGN, he should be a guest also.
Well hell if you are going to have the dead make sure JJ Scott and Joe Anderson get invited.
As far as I know the WLS 89 Rewind only included former air staff of that station, not competitors.
(or dead people)
When I was a kid the only time we turned on WNOX as at night because when the sun set you could not hear WKGN.
I remember the DJs at night on WNOX were really bad, but I can't remember any of their names.
My parents used to listen to POA and then turn it over the WKGN the second his news was over. They loved him and when I told them you said he was dead they both were sorry to hear he was gone.
Is WKGN going to do a reunion? Now that would be fun! My brother has a GOOD GUY Cowboy hat from WKGN and I have a Chicken Man T shirt!
The only real radio people I would want to see or hear from the past would be Adel, John Boy, CP and Walker, and Bob Baron. Dr. Al was before my time but my Dad really did like him.
I didn't know most of the names on the first list? Did they work in Knoxville?
