I found some station promos. I knew I had them here somewhere. I uploaded them >>> www.qzootampa.com/wklr.html

Hey cspotrun, can you upload the Synchronism package for WKLR so we can hear how it sounded like?

cspotrun doesn't have the package. He quoted my original post but forgot to "quote" my post.

At any rate, I'm looking in to building a WKLR page and uploading lots of promos and jingles.

Can't wait to see the site!

Is this the same Dude Walker who was at WAKY in Louisville? http://www.79waky.com/airchecksdudewalker.htm

When WQFE in Brownsburg became WKLU and switched to oldies, they had the exact, same jingle package. It was their attempt to pick up where WKLR left off...this was about the same time Shirk was pulling his shenanagins on 106.7 with oldies.

I don't know how Shirk got the jingle package, but I believe he just snipped out the 93.1 part of our jingles.

WHY, didn't this station make it?

I was there when they decided to nuke it. It was the oft quoted, but at the time highly pre-mature "The audience is aging outside of the demo & we want to be ahead of the curve" logic. Of course, 104.5 came on a few years later & had a great run with Oldies. Sadly, we are probably to the point where a 60's based oldies station on a full power FM signal isn't going to happen again. But to all those who were a part of WKLR and WGLD, I salute you & thank you for your service.

Actually, WKLR did make it.
They were in the top 5 during most of their run, and even in the final years they were pulling down a 5-6 share in 12+.
It was kind of like GOLD 104.5. Very well programmed, great talent and good numbers, but they skewed toward the old demos, and advertisers like 18-34.
Many of us scratched our heads when they pulled the plug on WKLR, much as we did when Susquehanna pulled the plug on GOLD 104.5.
WKLR was very successful for many years, and was my favorite station in the 80's.

no, "Lame" sales department who didn't understand how to sell anyone over 35 killed KLR.

No...Emmis bought station in 94 and Jeff wanted to recreate Stereo 93, the Wrath of the Buzzard....WNAP with the Arrow format that was popular, and younger skewing, at the time.

The WKLR promos are put together well, but their voice guy sounds dated. Of course that's been a few years ago and at that time his delivery may not have sounded dated. WGLD's voice seemed to fit their format much better though.

There were three promo voices for WKLR. The first was Robin Luce. The second was WMXJ Miami's Sean Burke. The third and final voice was Dude Walker.
