The WKYE/WBCV Tribute Page

S

Guest
I'd like to talk about The WKYE/WBCV Tribute Page (sammyreed.com/wkyewbcv.htm). I mentioned it before, but now I'd like to give it a separate thread.
I have added the rest of the 1980 Chris Lee airchecks I have from May, 1980 - WKYE's last month as a secular station.
I posted a "Big 6 High School Football Report" with "Jimbo" Widener from 1984, and a short aircheck of my dad, Cecil Reed, from 1987.
 
I just added 2 airchecks of WKYE as a country station from 1974, with "The Silver Dollar Kid"!
 
I just added the last show of the 1985 season for Jimbo Widener's "Big 6 High School Football Review".
 
I recently got an E-mail from Chuck Lawson, who gave some interesting insight on WKYE's last year as a rock station. He has graciously allowed me to share his story on the page! I have it under "WKYE goes gospel".
 
Got any pictures or station trinkets you can post to your site? Trinkets such as bumper stickers, window decals, pictures of t-shirts w/station logo? Pictures of facility, studios, offices, that sort of thing?
 
I collected, and dubbed, airchecks and other audio. I didn't get any logo-related material. Sorry.

No biggie. Just asked. You'll never know unless you ask. What you got in terms of airchecks are cool. :)
 
I now have excerpts from an E-Mail sent in by Scott Spangler, and have added 2 more "Big 6 High School Football Review" shows from 1987!
... which begs the question: Was 1987 a winless year for Sullivan East, or what was their win-loss record? Anyone out there know?
 
After a few months of not having the "Radio Stuff" feature on my website, I'm glad to announce that it's back!
I have added airchecks from my dad's last few weeks with WBCV in 2005.

Steve Nelson (aka Steve Richards) sent an E-mail and has allowed me to post it on the page.
 
After putting it off for too long, I have finally gotten around to posting the other 2 airchecks I bought on E-Bay in 2007, on my website. They're of the DJ who worked as "The Silver Dollar Kid" on WKYE in 1974.

One is of him on WZAP in 1977 as "Ted Montgomery", and the other is from 1979 on Memphis's WLVS-FM as "George Allen". These tapes are on:

Sammy,

Nice job documenting a station's history. And production jingle companies. Need any holes filled with Pepper/Tanner material? If so, PM me.
 
Today, I found that the streaming players weren't showing up, on this page as well as the "Various" and "Commercials" pages in "Radio Stuff". I corrected that problem, so they should show up now.
