WCTT Radio - Corbin

WCMT-FM in Martin, TN, was still using reel-to-reel automation as recently as 1992, when I left there. They got their supplies from Broadcast Supply West out of Seattle. I would be curious to know if they are still in business, and if so, what formats (LP, tapes, etc.) do they still provide? We had production music from them on LPs, and they were still sending us reel-to-reel tapes of music (mostly oldies, but some AC) when I left. They became a little more contemporary after I left there. But they almost had to! I mean, come on, an FM station in a college town, playing nothing but pre-Beatles oldies on the weekends as recently as 1992? ::)
 
As of last year, WCTT-AM is no longer a Cincinnati Reds affiliate, ending a run of at least 40 years. The Reds have since picked up (weaker) WFTG in London and WWXL in Manchester.

They still play mostly obscure stuff from wayback with extremely limited commercial interruption.

I haven't heard one of those "Swap Shop" shows on radio for quite a while...

Our AM station, WIEL in Elizabethtown, tried one of these, calling it the E-trader and ran it for a few months...I don't think it was successful. But our late news director was Ron Boone, who was from Corbin and had started out at WCTT...he may have been where the idea came from. FatPunk used to host the E-trader and may have more to share on this...
 
I realize that, Rob. What I meant was that may have been where the idea for WIEL came from. At the time WIEL, an AM station, was struggling to find 'something that worked'
 
WPBK 102.9 in Stanford has one of these shows which I find very interesting to listen to. I thought I would miss WDHT but I got over it. They do provide something in this area that was definitely missing which was local radio. They have a good signal as well. They reach Lexington with ease and I have picked it up almost to Louisville until WRKA 103.1 made it unlistenable.
