Stuck In The 70's

Something else to be considered here: KEOM is MISD-owned, unlike the other stations up and down the dial. MISD has never been famous for "rocking the boat" on ANYthing(in a lot of ways that's actually a good thing). One would have to assume that would also include their radio station. I'm quite sure Dr. Griffin has a lot of clout within the district, as he's been there for like a hundred years(Lord, I apologize for that), but the "powers-that-be" in the Mesquite School District don't even let the toilet paper brand be changed without school board approval....and Dr. Griffin never struck me as someone who would budge too much on anything. Now, if Mr. Wolfe was still around....

Dr. G. has been with the district for 35 years.

Some of what you say is probably true, however our former music manager Bill Sherrard was the person who convinced Dr. G. to try the all-70's format.

To my knowledge, the school board itself rarely gets involved with music programming, except for when KEOM first signed on.

As for Mike Wolfe, he had very little control of the music since KEOM used Centruy 21 music reels from 1984 to 1989. When KEOM switched to CD's in 1989, the system consisted of three CD changers on random play.

Bill Sherrard deserves the real credit for the direction of KEOM's music programming during his tenure there.
