WKOR STARKVILLE - 40 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

If you took the 40 years of WKOR history and condensed it into one day, I had the privilege of tagging along for about 14 minutes and 24 seconds. Save for the one time I forgot to record Paul Harvey (I still cringe at the thought of that after all these years), they were enjoyable memories with unforgettable radio pros. Think back on the folks who sat behind those mikes over the course of time... and what an impact you could make even now if you could assemble a cast like that in one place at one time! When they kicked the station off, they did it right, and those who were to follow had a great legacy to uphold.
 
Hi Rob!

Don't feel bad, I forgot to record Paul Harvey several times! That's why we kept one of his old shows on stand-by. Believe me, it did get used!

To me the amazing thing about WKOR's startup is that, compaired to radio today, KOR was so much more sophisticated. The best engineer to build it, the best new equipment, a great PD, excellent management, the top DJs of the market. Much thought and no scrimping.

Meanwhile, in 2008, stations go on with no talent or much of a plan. Just a new set of tunes for the automation unit, some generic drop-ins and that's about it!

What happened to this industry?
