Today 101 hears from Gary Adkins and Mike Clark. We'd like to hear from you too!
Gary-
I'll try to get you some stories later. I did get a call from out of the blue last week from Greg Strassell who did 7-Midnight at WOKI in 1981. Greg's air name was Fast Eddie Ashton. Greg has been very successful. He is presently a programmer for CBS radio and is based in Boston. As for stories...when I get a minute I'll tell you a good one about the untimely death in the early 80's of Jimmy Buffett. Normally when we tell stories, we tend to embellish a bit to make them more exciting. The stories I can tell you from the old days of Knoxville radio are just the opposite. I'll have to tone them down a little to make sure that no one goes to jail, divorce court or rehab.
Mike-
I was reading the previous post about WATO, and it got me wondering: has anyone heard about one of their towers falling? I understand one of them fell back in March. I used to work there, and it kinda makes me sad to see a local station that could be (and used to be) a real community asset not be utilized to its fullest.
