ZEEK HEADS TO D.C.

CHECK OUT THE WEEKEND STORIES
ON OUR FAVORITE EAST TENNESSEE
RADIO HISTORY BLOG!


The guy who sent in about
his canning at the old WNOX
is talked about around the
campfires and weed patches
of old DJs still living illegally
on several tower sites.

Zeek overheard this really
OLD, grizzled, tired, spiritless
alleged DJ tell the
following story about Allen Dennis,
this mornings contributor
to 101.



Allen Dennis story as told by
OGTSDJ........and remembered
by Zeek:


"I remember a few weeks after
I got to WETE from WKGN
our PD (Don Patrick) left.

Don was one of
those very FEW management
types who both had a clue
and could make you work harder by the fact
that you so respected him.
Anyway, he left and
Heaven Help Us the GM took over.
That guy (the GM) is dead now
so I won't say much
about him except that
whenever SALES takes
over programming things turn dark very fast.

One morning someone
spotted Allen in the
GMs office and the word got out that
he was talking to him about becoming PD.

Yep, doves were released, really ugly bookkeepers were
hugged and just
to make sure the thing
would happen the
all night guy went to the basement
to prepare the human sacrifice.

Sadly, I guess Allen figured out the real deal
...once SALES gets their
fingers into programming they never let go...
and he exited the building.

It would have been a
fun ride because WETE
had the power back then
and later when Basic Media
bought it and turned
it into WRJZ that power,
coupled with the late Bob Kagan
gave Knoxville a station
that jumped right in the
car with them and changed
all their dial settings to 620





Zeek is headed to the coronation on the 20th and has been working
like a motivated field hand to become a Democrat before
he hits D.C.

His first challenge is to find a glimmer of fact
in the Al Gore Global Warming agenda.
Spending many quarters out of the Media
Research Investigative Budget, Zeek hired
the noted Meteorological scientist,
Von ExplodingBeeker to look into the
situation.

Dr B as Zeek likes to call him,
suggested Zeek take a fast naked run
in the trailer court this morning, starting
at his own single wide front door, going down one full
block, circling the meth lab, broad jumping the
block from the 81 Vega next door and returning to the
Riddings mance by way of the mud
room. Adding that the nude adventure would
give Zeek a first hand impression of the
seriousness of Al's Global Warming WARNING!

While Zeek "blue streaked" the community on wheels,
Dr. B energized his IBM and found the following CURRENT
facts on Global Warming:


1 Forecasters say temperatures in the upper Midwest could be the coldest in years Friday as chilly Arctic air keeps spilling south from Canada.


2 The coldest day so far this winter will grip much of the eastern-third of the nation today. The bitter cold will begin to ease ahead of the next clipper set to deliver snow to the Midwest and Northeast this weekend.


3 Chicago Spends A Second Day In Minus Land
Area Plagued By Dangerous Subzero Temperatures, Windchills In -50s


4 Last but not least the learned expert
inserted the following note. "If you still think Al isn't just pulling his middle leg
on Global Warming check out a few facts right here!"


Flash...PETA is PISSED!

Native American President of PETA.. Freezenutbagoffinwinterifnowearfur
says the forgotten victim in yesterdays miracle on the Hudson
plane crash is our feathered Canadian friends, who most feel are being unjustly singled out as the cause of the crash!
Sighting that the biased media only counted HUMAN survivors from the water landing, FNBOIWWNF has produced this picture of the REAL victem of the the story.

Airport authorities have already responded
to PETA and have dispatched the following
RESPONSIBLE and MOTHER EARTH LOVING men
to the scene of the problem.
