Station Pick: WROQ (WCKN)-Greenville-Spartanburg

Eric,

We used the "Talking Mouth" spot from CMI 1999-2000 or so. I'm not sure if the station used it before that, but we had JB&B on the spot we cut...It's still on the last CMI demo that I got for the talking mouth spot.

I remember working there in 82-83. It was still WAIM when I first arrived in July 82, but they changed it to WCKN later that Fall.

In case no one else has said this, the letters didn't stand for "Chicken". I remember a station ID that included "Can".

We move forward to 1990 when WROQ changed calls and formats to gorilla radio... With WROQ up for grabs in 1991 those calls came to the GSP market even though Adams Communications who purchased Kool 95.1 in Charlotte tried to get those calls back to the QC, but it was to late thus the 95QQ would become WAQQ... To this very day those ROQ calls have been home to the up states Classic Rock Leader... CC1

You didn't mention this, but 61 Big Ways was WROQ throughout 1990 when they used the Z-Rock satellite format.

Robyn...I don't remember the compactor. Doesn't mean it was not in the same TV ad, but just that my aged brain is foggy. The "flaming" WCKN logo is all that sticks out. As far as the "talking mouth" spot, was that the spot I saw on a number of TV stations in different markets with a good-looking girl who would begin talking in her normal voice and having a dialogue with an off-camera male voice? The camera would then zoom to her mouth where she would lip-sync snippets of songs played on the advertised station. The camera would then zoom back out and the dialogue with the male would resume with the guy saying: "You have an incredible voice!"; then female would say, "(station name/calls) is an incredible radio station". Of course, she was using a soft, sexy voice. I know WBCY had TV ads like this, and it seems that some were even specific to John Boy and Billy -- which was well before their WRFX and "The Big Show" days.

I remember this too, back in 1978.
