Nashville and Knoxville are two of Tennessee's largest cities. In radio terms, Nashville is a large/major market and Knoxville is a medium market.
The cities had ownership connections with WMAK being part of the Mooney Broadcasting Corporation (WKGN) and WKDA/WKDF was owned by Dick Broadcasting (WIVK).
Many talented DJs exited Ktown for NashVegas...
The photo above is WMAK 1300 in 1975. Do you recognize anyone?
In the driver's seat is Wayne Bernard, then Charlie Chase, and to his right is Smokey Burns, who went on to claim fame as Murphy in the Morning.
Were you part of the radio migration from East to Middle TN...I know AD, Paul Lyle, Mike Beck, Frank Erwin, etc. made the switch. What about you?
