Rick Marino Out...

[deltas69]

when did MGL work with coyote at kx104? seems like it was in the early eighties. they were broadcasting from the WHIN studios here in Gallatin, but calling it their suburban location. Ron Bledsoe did what we wanted to do when he bought it..but the WHIN owners (all in their late 50's at the time), couldn't grasp the concept. when bledsoe sold it for a little over 10 mil, the old owners almost croaked..they thought they really hung ron when they sold it to him for 800k or there about..still they made a nice profit after only giving 161K for it...and that included the entire mountain top, 50k house with inground pool, and 88 acres of land..wonder what bigfoot jones would think of it now??

Don't know much about her or where's she from, but Kim Leslie will replace Rick Marino as Co-Host for the morning show there at Mix 92.9.

She also did afternoons with Dean Warfield on WKDF until Sept. 2006, produced 'Country Live tonight" which Dean hosted while he was still at WSIX. .

It was the early eighties. I don't remember if she made the move to Y107 with Coyote, but if fuzzy memory serves me right, she did.

 

[romer979fm]

remember Coyote's "hit" record "Where's The Beef"?
MGL lip-synced it with Coyote and BJ Harris on Channel 4's "noon show"...

not a great moment, as MGL was dressed as Clara Peller...

Yorkie, I think MGL stayed at KX104 after Coyote left, teamed with Barry Fox mornings until he left, then joined Steve McCoy in Atlanta. A voice in my mind's deep recesses also says she worked in Kansas City before returing to 104 solo. Help anyone? She was back at 104 mornings when syndicated JB&B Show was brought to FoxArrowCoreRockin'Hits104. Then she went to 107.5 for a while, now at 105.9.

Rhett Walker was Coyote's sidekick at Y-107.

 

[junebaby62]

I think MGL was with 104.5 the fox, doing breaks for their morning show(Tom Bootle or Bootle Rob & Rox or JB&B) when 107 The River, saying her talents was being wasted, hired her to do their morning show around 1992-1993. Would'nt bet that on my life though.

I left KXX 14 in June of 1980 to seek other opportunities (you know how that is). Mary Glenn came in shortly after, maybe the same month.

Buddy.

i'll bet you didn't know that MGL is quite the belly dancer..seven veils, harem pants, bells ,whistles, ropes, pullys, i was doing a dj gig at the gallatin country club back in the mid eightes for a private party..i was in the bar starting the required dosage of golden fluid, when i hear all this commotion..no ..not CCR..but it was MGL in full arabian nights regalia and she was open for business..put on a show for the guest of honor for about 10 minutes..then vanished into the night...i went to school with her, graduated with her, and never knew about her secrect identity..i stood there l;ike this the entire time...if she saw me..she never acknowledged it..may be the reason she left so fast ;D

is "KXX 14" an AM station in Houston?

 

[Tibbs4]

MGL was still at the Q & MAK into 1982/83/84 with Steve, right, CR? He left in 82, 83 or 84 for Z in Atlanter?
I am old and can't remember the year. Dangit all.

Who was the first Morning Show on KXX 14? I am recalling Sarge somewhere in there. Was that 1979 or 80? Or should I use code: 197980 14.

I just don't know what that KXX 14 is. I just hope it's not Buddy's old Chippendale name.

Tibbs...

IIRC...McCoy came to 92Q from WORD Spartanburg in August of 1978...all co-ordinated with
the move from automation in Hendersonville to live CHR at 810 Division. MGL was already doing news
(with VT'd Bob Reich 'on air' as Friendly Jim O'Brien on the automation). I think John Young
hired Steve for Z in February 1981. Before that happened...stations in Miami (WAQI) San Diego (KBZT)
and Baltimore (B104) were after McCoy. In fact, a group from Miami flew to Nashville to aircheck McC,
only to find Stu Evans on-air: Stu locked himself in the 92Q control room to raise funds for "Italian
Earthquake Relief"...stayed there for 24 hours +...even had a porta-toilet in the control room...and had
new locks on the door. It was all a self-promotion stunt for Stu...and really sucked...and the Miami group was pissed. Stu's very talented...and a good guy, and went from Nashville to Chicago...and has been at KMLE Phoenix for 17 years...but this was awful.

too much info?
maybe it's time for a new thread, huh?

I couldn't remember whether the 0 went in the middle or on the
end of the K and the X...but I just knew someone here would remember for me.
Who knew? ;D

 

[scottwmro]

well i guess i'll show what a male pig i am at the ripe old age of 56..a woman pd at mix92 ? ..another apparently doing the prima donna thing with coyote ?...too much undeserved ego for me..we had a gurl jock back at the old whin fm (104.5) in '71..but she was cool..partied and drank like a guy..she was one of the boys , if you catch my pitch there..none of us thought we were better than the other..guess we were having too much fun to think about egos..yea...FUN ..some of you corporate suits ought to try that sometime...go out with your employees..see how real talent lives...hell you might even have FUN..

Pat:
Your bold comment above IS WHY the telecommunicatioins act of 1996 came to be. This is why stations were failing,not making money, and going under. I was for consolidation, due to it cleaned up bad managemnet, got rid of stuipd PD's and the partying, tearing up equipment, sloppy jocks! PCs we are using today saved the industry with voice tracking and the Scott Studios automation, which help the smaller market stations survive and kept stations from going dark. Local radio was dying badly in a lot of places. The negative part of consolidation was instead of helping the things, it brought on greed by the big dogs.

I'm sorry...I must be missing something here. Please connect the dots for me...
how did consolidation end sloppy jocks tearing up equipment while partying with stupid PDs?
Huh? Just where did you see all this, Scott?

Not an attack...just looking for some...any...clarity.

My days at 92Q! Sam didn't give a s***. Rotary pots broke on that old Rockwell Collins board, beer bottles, and little bags of the white stuff everywhere, CD's not in order when the playlist called for a particular one. I worked at one station not in this market where this chick spilled a beer in the slide fader pots of the board. It took 3 of us to tear down the board, and clean the faders. When the gear doesn't belong to you, I find the "youngins" treat the radio station like a place to party.
I worked many nights helping Clinton Hooper cleaning up and fixing broken stuff by jocks!

 

[Tibbs4]

now that is SPOT ON right, Scott. It IS sad but true, single ownership owners
had it handed to them on the respect issue. Now, Corporate radio has a rule
for everything.

 

[deltas69]

lets see..gotta pull a 6 hour board shift 6 til midnight..ballgame from 7 til 10..fifth of crown royal ought to cover that, the twins are bringing the pizza around 10:30..better find the long version of rare earth's "get ready" ...ok...got it...got to admit did a lot of party hearty in my day.(note to pat..make DAMN sure the mike is off) .but never..i repeat never did i or anyone i worked with damage or destroy any equipment...it would have meant an indepth investagation, followed by immediate dismissal..and checks withheld to cover damages. "did we take liberties with our female party guests....sure we did dean wormer" ahhh...real radio..a lost art..

 

[Tibbs4]

delta --- how did you know about that??? ;D did I leave the mike on, too? hehehe/

oh, ohh, ohhhhhhhhhh! the stories. But, I don't think we ever broke ANY equipment (on the board)
