I know this is a Mississippi board, but many Mississippian's used to listen to WSB's 50kw skywave signal at night, especially to hear Braves games. For years, the name "Elmo Ellis" and WSB were synonomous...

WSB pioneer Elmo Ellis dies at 86.
He started at the Atlanta station (whose call letters stood for "Welcome South Brother") in 1940 as publicity director - and had made the full-service outlet an institution by the time he retired as GM in 1982. He was a permanent fixture at industry conventions - usually sitting in the front row to take notes. The Journal Constitution says Ellis attended a reunion party just last month. He passed away at his home in Sandy Springs.
