Eddie Beacon is one of the all-time great radio personalities in Ktown! Eddie worked at 23 stations during his career.
Did you know Eddie's last name is not Beacon? It's Huskisson! Yep, Clay Huskisson.
Eddie told me...he was getting his start on WNOX 990 and of course, would broadcast overnight from the transmitter. He was told Eddie Huskisson was too long for radio, so, working late at night, he chose Eddie Knight. Next thing you know, the phone was ringing and it was a not so happy other radio station calling and complaining that they already had a DJ using the last name Knight.
In his brilliance Eddie surmised...I am a "beacon" in the night on the radio, so I'll be Eddie Beacon.
