Hold That Line
Hey George...the sports score show was probably "Hold That Line" with Chuck Ketron , was on WETE 620. (Bob Poland)
The show was High School Hold That Line. I believe it was hosted by Chuck Ketron and Ken Johnson. (Jay Wormsley)
The Saturday call in sports show on AM 620 was "Hold That Line". They had several people answering the phones and giving out scores. One of the running gags on the show was several people would call in each week wanting the score in the Slippery Rock game. (Glenn McNish).

Can anyone answer KC's question...
Hey George, do you remember a Friday night or Saturday call in show for high school sports scores? I remember it was on 620 and some callers disappointed at the score, got past the 7 second delay (KC)

The Life and Times of The Big 99
The station went on the air in 1921 as WNAV. It was Tennessee's first radio station and one of the first ten in the USA.

Bob Kesling and Bert Bertelkamp call their last home radio basketball game today at Thompson Boling Arena. The Batman and Robin of Big Orange broadcasting have shared the airwaves since 1999.
I graduated from Bearden High School with Bert and throughout college I worked with Bob at WIVK. Legendary DJ Your Dave Young fondly referred to Kesling as "Buckeye Bob" always celebrating Bob's Ohio roots.
PS... MONEY!

The House of Sneed...101 contributor Alan Douglas Sneed~
Great rundown of WKGN in 1976. Can you believe it was almost 50 years ago?
Bro’ Mick Rizzo and I have been friends since 15Q, and he has come through Indianapolis a couple of times. Here we are in 2022!
Your post about Chip’s Heavy Chevy mishap reminded me of a similar experience I had in 1977 with the WKGN “De-can Van,” which we were giving away by doing registrations when listeners turned in cans for recycling. The garage at the back of the property we were renting in Fountain City was set on fire by arsonists, and it also burned my ski boat, which was parked between the garage and the van. I remember calling Rumore to tell him, and he was not happy. The van was okay, but did smell like smoke. Like the Heavy Chevy, we gave it away shortly after the incident. RIP, Vic.
