You got to go back a long way to get the following names from WAGF.
Tommy Underwood
Tom Sabiston
Simon Ritchie
Marvin Edwards
Lamar Trammell
Ed Vaughn
Don McGuire
Remember the OBS? Orange Blossom Special? Started in the 60's by Tommy Underwood using the name Ozell Ledbetter. It was the start of WAGF eventually going all country. Lamar Trammell did the Early Bird Show and billed himself as Mrs. Trammell's ONLY shaver. He played country when country wasn't cool. Anyone remember the 1320 Club hosted by Don McGuire and Ed Vaugh as high school disc jockies? Then it was hosted by Tom Sabiston and Marvin Edwards. 3:30-5:30 every weekday afternoon. Bet you don't remember Dr. Jive on WDIG either? He was on at night and did requests and dedications for the teens. All the stations signed off at 10:00 PM. So, is grandpa OLD? You bet! I remember all of this and much more. One Christmas WAGF ran 47 commercial minutes in an hour of country music they were so so sooooo sold out! Then there was HANGOUT, hosted by Tom Sabiston. He had everyone running around town looking for where they were broadcasting from on Saturday nights 8-10. Those were really really the "Good Ole Days".
Then there was Preseton T, (Truman Duckett) who in addition to working at WOOF and WDIG, did a TV show on WDHN when they first came on the air. He and Tom Sabiston used to be rivals for the Saturday Night teen audience.
Tom Sabiston is retired from broadcasting and living in Panama City, Florida.
Marvin Edwards was recently doing radio in Ozark Alabama, so I heard. Not confirmed.
Ed Vaugh was at one time in Huntsville, working for NASA. That was many years ago, so who knows where he might be today.
