It's the fall of 1974 at WKGN 1340...

Wayne Bernard and Mike Beach were soon to exit, 'Nard for WMAK Nashville and Beach to WETE 620.

The Dave Young Morning Show with Joe Anderson was fantastic. Dave featured "the oldie but forgotten goodie" daily.

Other DJs at that time were Frank Erwin, Todd Martin, Jeff Stevens with Joe Anderson, Chris Moser, and Rick Davis behind the news mic. David Todd worked the swing shifts. 

At the end of September, enter Jean Ash to the news team. Hi Jean!!!

We fast forward to late October as Bob Thomas and Jay Richards can now be heard booming their voices from 1340.

Wayne aka soon to be Charlie Chase, signed off for the final time on Friday November 22!

...and on today's date, 49 years ago- Bob Thomas went full time on the Knoxville air waves, and Bob is still broadcasting in East Tennessee these days! Congrats to Bob!
