In the early 70's...before 100.3 and 103.5 made big splashes, the rock battle was between WNOX 990 and WKGN 1340, W-149 presented a nice alternative....oh, and WETE 620 was a very nice sounding lite rock or MOR format.
Growing up at that time I did a lot of dial twisting...I listened to Dave Young and Mike Beach and Eddie Beacon, and as a young teenager I would have never dreamed they would become my life long friends.
In the early 70's I remember Sir Bernard and Eddy Roy as the morning DJs on WNOX...and Dave Young was on 3-7p (and what a shocker when he joined 1340)...one of my favorites during that time was King in the Morning on WNOX~ later as the first morning DJ at automated WOKI 100.3. Ron Ashburn and POA had booming news voices at The Rock of Knox!
Over at WKGN in the early 70's...Bob Baron and Wayne Bernard (Charlie Chase) were huge names...Joe Anderson had a distinct news voice. The night DJs in that era were unreal...Johnny Walker and his trumpet, Jack Diamond, Kent Newton, etc...big time radio!
I know many of you have great memories from way back until today...share them here at 101!
