wcog is currently westwood one syndicated, no voice tracking. what i was doing can't really be called voice tracking, either. and yes they do split programming on BG for some greensboro sports, you are correct.

Something BIG is coming to Greensboro
- Thread starter amos1001
- Start date
Wow. Now where's that sad face? I thought Stu owned 'COG. Speaking of Stu, they own 'PET and Dave does his voice tracking from the attic in Reidsville LOL. He goes into Winston like once a week, for Stu's Bible Study and maybe a little office work. I believe he may go to Greensboro to pick up a preacher's tape(s), but IIRC, he does it all (including deal with stations not even listed on their site) from home.
Roger on the clarification, thanks. Oh and I really need to start proofreading these things, not just thinking and typing.

the old satellite fed formats.. syndicated... but its likely sitting on a local hard drive,pushed there from the network
IIRC, the first call on 1470, before 'BIG, was WNRC, Wayne Nelson Radio Company. I read somewhere, a while back, he had a hand in the early days of WPET, some thirty years later, as well.
you are correct. but IIRC means if i REMEMBER correctly. you gotta be pretty old to REMEMBER when WNRC changed call letters in 1930. wow josh i had no idea you were closing in on 100. maybe Al Roker will wish you a happy birthday! or Williard Scott!

LOL, depends on what ya mean by IIRC, I reckon, but that is funny, Amos. In this/my case, it's if I remember correctly, as in from hearing it a loooooooooooooot time later. I do tell folk though, that my hair's older than I am.
)Who's Al Roker? Oh and when I think of the callsign WNRC, I also think of the National Radio Club and their station for their conventions, WNRC, Convention City. I was a subscriber to the DX Audio Service (DXAS) some years ago and fazed it out personally, when the family started growing. It was heading south IMHO and it was just time to go.
I remember when WBIG made its debut on Big 102, which had a mix of country and pop and was trying to bring back the old WBIG in 1987. A robot voice was counting down to the big event and occasionally said something like "It's Big, and it's coming."Oh, my, word, this is big, or to paraphrase Barny Fife, biggest thing ever happened in Greensboro, real big, big, big big! I believe I got that right, from A Black Day For Mayberry.
Yep, remember that one well. Every so often, while the computer did the countdown, or rather, to take a break from it, a DJ would play music for just a little while, maybe not even a half hour, then it was back to the computer voice counting down. That is, until that Friday afternoon (can't remember the date), at about 4:50 or so, it was down to NUMBER ONE and kept saying it over and over and over and over, with the occasional (probably DJ, office staff, etc) clapping/cheering. Then, at 5, there was a special presentation, containing the last few minutes of the old 'BIG, then the new one came on. That's as best as I remember, as I type.
Longtime weather entertainer on NBC's Today show. Wishing happy birthday to centenarians was part of his shtick.
I thought only Willard Scott did that.
Hmmm, you may be right. I never liked either of them, prefer meteorologists rather than bad comedians telling me about the weather. I remember Roker from my college days in Syracuse. He was on Channel 9, WNYS, the perennial laggard among the three network affiliates.
I remember when Frank Blair did the weather.
Talk about no personality whatsoever. He did teach me future perfect, which I was not aware of. "There will have been frost."
Al has AMS TV Seal #238 (lapsed). There are a lot of folks doing weather that don't have one or a NWA seal. More importantly he has a 5 year $50 million contract.
Roger on that. I knew who Willard Scott was and knew that was part of his "shtick", so that's why I didn't ask.
)Roger on the more importantly. As the late Brother J.W. Depew used to say, money can't buy you everything, but it can get you downtown where everything is. Don't quite understand it, but it sounds good and he was a good man. :O)
