It's 1972!

101 travels back to early '72...

The year kicked off with Bobby Rivers as the AM drive DJ at WKGN. (Alan Dennis arrived soon thereafter).

Wolfman Jack's syndicated show was featured on WKGN on Sunday nights!


The WNOX announcers went on strike leaving J Worthington Smith on the air for 29 1.2 hours.

The Knox Sox named Joe Sparks as manager!


In April, Arnold Palmer played golf at Fox Den!

In May, Alan Dennis moves to Mooney's WMAK Nashville and Eddie Beacon joined 1340 in the 7p-midnight slot. (ps- this was not Eddie's 1st rodeo at WKGN).

The WNOX line up in June- King in the Morning, Eddy Roy, Ken Mynatt, Your Dave, J Worthington Smith, and Robert E Lee.

W-149 featured Gary Adkins and Johnny Pirkle in the drive times!

...and where were you in '72?
