More country music in the morning.

Country Musc is not my favorite. (I turned my heaphones down when I wasn't talking.) But after Harte Hanks shut down NEWS1 Radio WNSI, (formerly WLCY) this was the job that allowed us to stay in Tampa Bay. When you listen to this you will see that "personality" radio was independent of what music was played. It worked, the ratings were great.

This was in the first month after I started at WLCY as Music Director and afternoon drive host. (Before I was made Program Director) It features classic commercials, the "Skyway Bridge" song, Jon Powers does news, Kevin "The Wild" Card does sports in a unique style, and Karla Haun does traffic.

NOTE: She is pretending to be in a plane over the traffic (like our competitors) by being on a mobile radio in the next room!

This is a composite of air checks at two of the stations at the middle of my career. 1977 - KCRG in Cedar Rapids,Iowa where where I worked under the direction of Frank Magid consulting and made big strides in evolving my on-air timing, and then 50,000 watt WLW in Cincinnati (which followed KCRG in 1978) where I had a 38 state audience. (Note: I used this in my job application in 1980 after leaving WLW. I was offered identical positions at WWWE, Cleveland and WLCY, Tampa. I went to WLCY.)
