WOLFMAN JACK RADIO SNIPPIT FULL
(It only took five minutes to drive to work then, so the listening times were much shorter!) The total treasures and individual "format" elements contained in an inventory of this exhibit are staggering: in addition to a full five minute newscast (plus an edited half hour teaser) and sponsor tags, you'll get Wendy the Weather Girl, WQXI News Cruiser, and an " Auditorial" by then GM Kent Burkhart, regarding the merits of Top 40 Radio.Īlso: The Dixie Piano Company, Atlanta Dairy Perfect Flavor Milk, Dixie Transmission Service, York Imperial-Size Cigarettes, and 666 Cold Preparation. The #1 record is played TWICE in the 7-8 AM hour. It is delightfully Atlanta and Southeastern U.S. This is HOT Cold-War Top 40, with WQXI Hotline - Inside Information from Atlanta, Washington D.C., New Delhi - it was "Instant Information - Any hour, any minute." It ends with the 8AM lead story: JFK is expected to announce the resumption of nuclear tests 'in the atmosphere', but that is preceded by the Radio Moscow feature! It is VERY 1962. This wonderfully rare hour of Bob Chase with newscaster Bob Mann and sportscaster Bob Mack(?) may be the first known example of the All-Bob format. Ĭontributor John Long credits this selection to an Aircheck Club LP. to the saddest story ever told, Tiger Radio awards a genuine paddle - so you won't be up the creek without a paddle. He also founded the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame. John retired to the Georgia coast in 2004.

John joined WQXI as a part-time jock in 1965. A chance meeting with a Brit who had a rare Beatles album created an opportunity for John to visit Paul Drew at WQXI in Atlanta, and in 1964 he quit college and moved to Atlanta to take a job as a promotion man for Mercury records. After high school, he got his first job in LaGrange at WLAG, and he entered LaGrange College.
