Re: My Spin on Memphis Radio -- the AM Side
The Professor has no idea who posted the FM side, but Professor thinks the AM side of the band needs examination, too. So, here goes...
560 WDEB/”Debbie 560.” All Debbie Montgomery chatter. She’s back! It couldn’t be done until Cap’n Pat resigned.
600 WTON/”The Tone.” All test tones, all the time. The engineers will LOVE IT! “Hey, can you play a 1 kc for me?!”
640 WCRV. OK, they making so much money, they ain’t changing.
680 WHAT/”Hate 680.” Only the most HATE-Filled talk show hosts from both sides. You’ll love Michael Savage and Al Franken back to back!
730 KTLR/”The Trailer.” News and lifestyle talk for the average West Memphis trailer-trash resident.
790 WCFN/”Confusion 790.” Mike Fleming is back on 790, and more is confused and incoherent as ever! Coming soon – the confused rantings of Janis Fulliove. 790—where no one makes sense!
990 KLCK/”The Clock.” “All time, all the time!” ‘Nuff said.
1030 WPOL/”The Pole.” Memphis’ Polish Station! Polkas, news and talk for the extensive Polish-speaking community!
1070 WPYR/”Pyramid 1070.” Memphis’ biggest unused pointy building downtown now becomes the World’s Biggest Jukebox!” It’s so big, we’ll need 50,000 watts to play ‘em all! Just drive by, drop in a quarter and hear all your favorites. With a building that big, we’ll have everything from Allison Kraus to ZZ Top!
1170. Who cares?
1210 WTDY/”Today 1210.” A new format every day! “What are we TODAY?!” Yes, the station will still be owned by Dr. Flinn.
1340 WLOK. OK, they survived WHAL. They’ll still be here. Good job, Mr. Gilliam.
1430 WWET/”Wet 1430, The Humidity Station.” Need to know the humidity? He’s where you go!
1480 WCHS/”Chess 1480.” With Poker a national obsession, this station grabs on to what they hope is the next big thing – CHESS! Yes, round the clock play-by-play coverage of chess playing masters. Chess Fever – Catch It on 1480!
1600 WTTP/”The Top.” Mayor Herenton will eventually have to leave City Hall (we all hope so, anyway), so Memphis' “Top” man takes his F-bomb dropping personality to the airwaves fulltime. Hear the South’s newest shock jock insult everyone who calls, and never have any real answers for anything. Listen, or as the Willy would say, “you’re an idiot.”
