The fall of 1976 was an interesting time in Ktown radio...AM radio was still a major factor at many dial positions. 620 was WETE, 850 WIVK, 990 WNOX, 1240 was WBIR, 1340 WKGN, and 1490 was enjoying success as 15Q with a DJ line up that featured many mega stars~ Chuck Boo Boo Baron, Suitcase Simpson, Charlie Fox, Shotgun Kelly, Ron Baptist, and The Brothers (Gary Adkins and Bill Johnson). Oh, and Eddie Beacon was reading news on 15Q!

Enter November and the debut of "The New 62" as WETE became WRJZ...
