WVJS Power Reduction

[Potts]

The WVJS translator sounds stronger in Evansville nowadays. Did they up the juice or raise the stick?

It is still on the same stick on 60W in Owensboro and is actually sitting at less than licensed power of 250 watts.

Dear TheOtherRadioRob,
Although I respect the opinion’s made (above) regarding the programming on WVJS, and even agree with some – I will state here how much I enjoy your afternoon show. I listen to it daily. Certainly I love the music (due to my age), but your show quite often reminds me of the ‘glory days of WVJS’ spoke of before – and that’s a good thing I believe. I remember those days well – as I listened to WVJS in 70’s. I even played a small part in trying to keep those glory days of radio going on WVJS’s sister station in the 80’s and 90’s. I applaud your efforts, and success at WVJS. Keep the faith sir – and the hope that radio can be more than it is – or was.
Sincerely,

Thank you for the kind words. I indeed remember working with you in tail end of the "glory days" and although I was only a part-time kid, I learned a lot from staff on both sides of the building. It was more than a paycheck back then. Even tasks like sitting in an office and entering song info on the playlists were things I was thankful to do, because it gave me experience beyond sitting behind the mic. Here it is some 23 years since I walked in the building and I still feel like I did the night I was trained when I fire up the afternoon show.
