Happy February...time sure flies and radio history happens everyday!

Ed Brantley being heard on the radio may now be in our rear view mirrors but Ed is still at WIVK all these decades later!

When I first went on the air at WIVK as an 18 year old UT freshman, Ed was hosting the 1-4p slot and WIVK simulcast their FM 107.7 and AM 850 signals.

Back in '76 the line up featured 6-10a Claude Tomlinson, 10-1p Jimmy Vineyard, 1-4p Ed, 4-7p Bobby Dentom, 7-12a Tony Eubanks (and happy birthday to Tony on Tuesday), and Terry Womack overnight...Mike Hammond, Jean Ash, Dan Bell, Dave Young and Bob Kesling were all there too.

When Booby gave up drive time, Your Dave took over afternoons and then Ed hosted that slot for many years.

Here's Ed on WIVK back in 1987~
