Your FIRST break?

S

Sniffthamic

This is for the people who have actually worked on the radio (past or present! ;D ;D )

What was the first thing you ever said on the air?

For me:

"And a good good Saturday mornin' to ya!"
 
;D You're listening to NBC's Voice of Cape Kennedy..1300..104.1 WRKT AM and FM Cocoa Beach, "Our soldiers overseas buy US Savings Bonds at work...Do You! (Was still Cape Kennedy in 64 after JFK was killed) and the other was a built in PSA at the top of the hour!
 
"And a good good Saturday mornin' to ya!"

Yep.... you stole that one from me! I think you also stole "A very pleasant good afternoon everyone" too, along with "The only TV Show on Radio"
 
How in the hell can you guys remember that far back??? I have no clue. I do know it was a Friday night in March 1964 and it was a midnight shift at WGNI. Russ Spooner worked 7-12M. I was "hanging around" answering the phones. Russ called the PD, who had no intention of coming to work!
 
"Break ins reported at JP Taylor...Area man molested by reptiles...Sunny today, dark tonight...These and other stories in the days news. A very pleasant good afternoon everyone."

How did he sign off? I know he never said his name. Wow. I ran that news so many times...he threw glasses of water at the studio window soooo often and I can't remember the sign off. Musta done fried up too many brain cells with my trusty gold spray paint. (gold is the best)
 
"How did he sign off? I know he never said his name."

It's 74 degrees in the Gateway City and the Kerr Lake Level is 298.3 feet.

The news today is sponsored by Save Way Food Market, McCracken Oil Company, and Norlina Water Wells.
 
Hey, Sniff, great topic.

Mine, as reported widely by various other outlets, was, "There's a little bit of Floyd Cramer for you." You see, I'd just come out of Floyd Cramer, so it seemed appropriate. It wasn't.
 
I think I froze that first time and had to dump out straight from muteintro into the song.

Martin Luther's first communion, he dropped the bread, which the church took as literally Christ's body, and he mumbled some words and enraged his dad who had paid for his law schooling so much that not long after that they never talked again, so I guess my first break coulda been worse.
 
;D ;D  "It's a Great Day to Greet  the Lord!  Hello everyone, this is Arthur Smith for Bunny Bread"!


BT BT BT BT BT BT BT>>>>WBT!
 
While reading a PSA at WGTM, 1983...
"Many types of diseases are carried by mosquito orgasms."

It was supposed to be "organisms". :eek:

Don
 
I can't say that I remember what I said in that first break but I do remember being sure that someone from WABC or WLS would be passing thru the area and stop and call me and beg me to come to work for them. Still waiting on that call.
