Anyone know why WAKY stopped streaming??? I live in WI but love the station.
 
WAKY is streaming again. I lived and worked in Madison in the late '70s and early '80s. Fun city, great stuff happening and I still love those Badgers. LC
 
Hey Les,

I remember you worked for WMAD, but that's a country station now. That had to have been a rock station back then, right? I know you've done country, but the LCook I knew in the early 80s didn't seem like a country jock to me. :)

Also, was WMAD on 96.3 back then or was that a different signal entirely?
 
Thanks a lot!!!! Listening now as a type this. There are just no good oldies stations up here. Everyone has gone "classic hits". The last good oldies station, WOKY "The mighty 92" clear channel blew up a year ago.
Fell in love with WAKY this past summer when I was down there visiting my daughter on vacation. You guys have a beautiful state with great people.
 
Yes, WMAD was a hard rocker in the late 70s/early 80s. It was WYXE at 92 fm and was an Abrams "Superstars" station when I got there in early 1978. As I recall, they changed the calls to WMAD in 1979. carl Como was the owner, Alan Young was P D and Marc Coppola, Suzi Austin, Mark Seeger, Karen Peterson, Debbie Dalton are some of the jocks I remember being there at the time. We all had more hair then and we had a great time tearin' up the Mad-City.

So you left there at some point in '79 or '80. We met when I engineered a hop for you at a Winnebago High school dance in 1980 and you were the PD of Y-95 in Rockford. But didn't you go back to WMAD after that?

Dude. Those were the days.
