If you have worked in Ktown radio, you have probably crossed paths with Eddie Beacon. In 1982 Eddie was the midday host at 62 WRJZ My Kind of Country~

"I didn't work in radio with Ed Brantley, but I was around him a lot in advertising world, and I'll tell you that in a world not exactly overloaded with nice guys, Brantley stood out like a tarantula on an angel food cake. Everybody in advertising agency world I knew and everybody in radio world I knew loved "Brantley" (no first name needed). Back in the day, when WIVK was literally king of the hill (Bearden Hill) and both radio and advertising were still fun, Ed Brantley was part of what made it fun. Always such a nice guy! Let the cockroaches have what's left of radio and advertising now, Ed - you ain't walkin' away from much these days. You can still show the world - again - that nice guys don't always finish last."
