THE WEEKEND IS CLOSE

The weekend is so close you can SMELL IT!

BIG PLANS? GOOD FOR YOU! Get out there
and DRIVE someplace before gas hits that
5 dollar mark!


LOCALLY
that rumor/idea about a
OLD DJ reunion is causing
some of the folks who didn't
work for WNOX to rise up
out of their wheelchairs
and brandish their
I.V. poles in protest!

Here is the note one
OLD radio alumni got
from the chairman of
the planning committee:


"After hearing from various "radio people",
there appears to be an issue over
WHICH Knoxville radio station should
host a "W??? Rewind" weekend.
My suggestion was WNOX based on
the current News Format which
usually takes a day or two off
for Memorial Day. Also, sportstalk
990 AM could take a day off & HOPEFULLY
allow the program to air on 990,
the original WNOX frequency.
It was nothing more than a
paper napkin doodle session. A spark, if you will..."



"However, some "radio people"
whom worked for OTHER stations
like WKGN, WRJZ, 15Q and WOKI
have negative feelings &
wish to continue to downgrade
WNOX from back in the day.
Sure, the BIG 99 drastically
changed in 1968 & the end result
was it would never make a comeback
until 1979 when WRJZ took backseat
to the renewly revived 99WNOX
programmed by Bob Savage &
Johnny E Douglas."

"Besides...Excuse me!
Isn't this 2008? It's time
to put the bickering and
hard feelings aside for
the benefit of reuniting
Knoxville's former Disc Jockeys.
Personally, I do not care
where or what station
will carry a "Rewind Weekend"!
Just do it...NOW! It's been
22 years since U-102 had a
"Total Knoxville radio" reunion.
And we aren't getting any younger!"

"Hell, lets have a WJBE REWIND...
Maybe a WETE REWIND...
even better, a WROL
REWIND & morph it into a
W149 REWIND into a 15Q REWIND
into a WITA REWIND!
How about a 1922 WNAV reunion?
If you remember those
call letters
you've studied Knoxville radio!!!"

"By the way, I want to
personally thank
everyone who emailed me
with their approval over
the original idea! At least,
I have opened the door for a very
much needed discussion on the issue!
Just do not move too slowly!
The AM Top 40 boomers won't be around forever!"



YA KNOW, as long as old radio
kids are still sucking air they
will be fighting over stuff just like
this! Staff took a vote and
the result was WNOX from about 1969
until the day Dick Broadcasting bought
them was nothing more than a steaming pile
of road apples.

That said, we all agree,Old DJs
are at the tipping point...you know
between letting the grand kids have
the beloved stack of Playboys and moving
into the home or getting married to ONE MORE
25 year old just to see if it was as good
as it was the first four times.


So IF there is going to be a reunion
then it best be now! Hey
here is a thought...YOU GUYS
always have great ideas!
SEND US A COMMENT and suggest
where this thing should be and if
it should even be on the radio?


HECK a good BAR would work bout as
well, remember in olden times these
DJs used to spend as much if not MORE
time at a BAR than they ever did on
the air!

SEND your thoughts...also if you
have the power to put something like
this on a station
we will see that it gets to the
mastermind!

REMEMBER the MR is NOT
behind this thing but
as we do with just about anything
connected to local media we LOVE TO
pick at it from cyber space.


The local far left blog
knoxviews.com is rather upset
over yet ANOTHER DEMOCRAT
being involved in some rather
salacious news!


http://www.knoxviews.com/
"Ugly situation involving local candidate"


Hey, DEMOCRATS have a long
history of making both print and
broadcast crime news, nothing really new here.

If you want to post a thought on knoxviews.com
be sure when you sign up to
make up everything and
really let them know you are
a light pink leaning far left
loving poster! THEN when you get
into the site keep your posts in
lock step with their opinions..THEN
when you are a real member of the tribe
drop a few truths on them to scare them!
It is great fun. On and always use
your lap top and post from
Starbucks! SO EASY and fun.

above mentioned steaming road apples.
