In April 1974 WOKI FM 100 debuted! The station was licensed to and broadcast from Oak Ridge. The station's moniker was "The Only one".

And by the way...the jocks were automated. They would go in and prerecord their on air breaks! The way of the future? No not really, but an interesting trend in '74!

Here was the 1st line up-

530- King in the Morning
10- Dave Lambert
12- Jack Bean
3- Johnny Pirkle
7- Mike Beverly
12- J.L. Myers

Afternoons in Ktown at that time included Mike Beach at WETE, Bobby Denton WIVK, Rick Monday WNOX, Dave Young WKGN, and Rich Renine W149.

In Ktown sports, the UT Vols announced they had signed New York area hoops sensation Bernard King to team up with Ernie Grunfeld and the Knox Sox had a great center field prospect in their line up named Nyls Nyman.
