In late 1980 Mooney Broadcasting purchased WSEV A/F for $1.3 mil.
In March 1981 Mooney was granted licenses for the AM and FM combo.
In April it was announced that the new call letters would be WMYU. (U-102)
Jerry Adams was GM with Bill Burkett PD and Colvin Idol News Director.
The original lineup was Dave Dunaway 6-10, Burkett 10-2, Tom Van Hart 2-7, Steve Harrison 7-12, and Rick Hudson at midnight.
Mike Clark shortly joined the news team from WATO Oak Ridge and Mick St John joined the on-air team.
U-102 scored a touchdown when Phil Williams was added on June 8 to work 4-8p!
Fast forward to June and Phil Jarnigan was now handling the overnight show.
6-10 Dr Dave Dunaway, 10-noon Bill Burkett, noon-4 Tom Van Hart, 4-8 Phil Williams, 8-12 Mick Saint John, 12-6 Phil Jarnigan. This lineup didn't last long, hey, it's radio.
In August Steve Harrison was back working nights, Mick St John back to middays, and Tom Van Hart overnight.
...then in November Phil Williams exited, returning to WNOX 990 and morning drive.
6 Dr Dave
10 Mick St John
3 Bill Burkett
7 Steve Harrison
12 Tom Van Hart
And that's a look back at U-102 in 1981.
