Anybody remember Herb? Haven't seen or heard of/from him in YEARS. WACL - Waycross...I think he was there with Gerald Jones (the rhyming d.j) and Big Jeff. Was a really good AM station in its day. later...brick
 
What years did he work at the station? WACL had the most diversified format . 5:00 am - 7:00 country, 7:00am - 8:00 top 40, 8:00 am - 11:00 easy listening, 11:00 am - Noon gospel, 12 noon- 3:00 country, 3:00 pm- 6:00 top 40, 6:00 - 7:00 beautiful music, 7:00pm - 10:00 top 40, and 10:00 pm - 12 midnight soul/ r and b. Paul Harvey, and local news from the newspaper editor on the phone also rounded out the schedule. Saturdays pretty much the same, except for opera in the afternoon. Sundays were all preaching and gospel, with black gospel in the evening. This went on until about 1977, when it switched to country, and all gospel in the mid 80s. It was a sucessful small market powerhouse with this formula for many years. 5,000 watts at 570, it's a shame it's gone.

Had a couple of stints there, I think. Maybe 60 - 63....then 70-ish...don't remember. Lots of good talent bounced around the station, and you're right, it was a powerhouse.
