- Start date

I can't give you an exact date but it was sometimes in January or February of 1985. I wnt to work there right after being laid off by WSOC-AM which started simulcasting with WSOC-FM. 96.9 Moved down to Charlotte (Hedgemore Drive where I believe one of the traffic report services is today) from Statesville when WLVV became WLVK.
Harmon & Evens became to morning team at K-97 by March and I split for radio heaven otherwise known as Stereo-1110-WBT.
Mike Terry you're the man ! ! !
I loved your spots when you were in Charlotte. Are you still on Sirius 61?

How are you doing? Looks like you are staying busy.
You supplied the missing information I was trying to think of....R.T. Simpson, I couldn't remember his name. He drove me crazy while I was at K-97. Do you know whatever happened to him?

More information on this station:
Sometime in the early 90s this station was Thunder 96.9, with ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd along with the country. I think they called it High-Octane.
They went back to country but kept the WTDR letters.

Radio guys will appreciate this:
The contol room board we used at WLVK became the control room board for Lite 102.9 when 102.9 was bought by Trumper. It happened again too, the board in one of the production/VT studios at K-104.7 is the same board I used at WSOC-AM.
So if you're in a market long enough you not only see people you worked with before but equipment too!

That happened in late 1997. I remember this because the station was still WTDR in Summer of 97 when they carried the audio for the free Garth Brooks concert in Central Park. It was later that year that they changed their name. Tom Jeffries was the first new jock I heard on the air with the new format.
The last jingle package they used with the WTDR calls was Jam's "Hot Kiis" package. When they changed to Kat Kountry, the new jingles were slower and kinda sounded like a black church choir. Seemed odd to me, but apparently it worked.
