Walker Johnson recently posted this classic photo, he's in the news room at WKGN 1340, the photo lists the date as February 1973 (I loved photos back in the day when the dates were tagged at the bottom to these wonderful black and whites).

I have kept Day At A Glance books since 1971...searching thru those books from the early 1970s, I first see Walker at WKGN in May 1972, he could have arrived earlier.

At that time...Allen Dennis had exited for sister station WMAK in Nashville, and Brother John moved down the Ktown dial position to W-149.
