Lights! Cameras! Jack's Back!

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "He's got a face for radio." I hope that doesn't apply to me, but ugly is in tghe eye of the beholder. Who knows? Tune into the radio and see for yourself.

What we've unveiled at WLSC Tiger Radio is nothing new. I've watched countless broadcasts of Don Imus and Mike & Mike on television. Howard Stern has had cameras in the studio. So has Bob & Tom, Kidd Kraddick and others. We're just one of the first to do it in the Carolinas.

Honestly, it does feel a little different with cameras on in the studio. It's not freaking me out, but there's an uneasiness. I can't explain it. It's just new ground for me to cover.

As many of you know, I've hosted a dailv tv show, River Talk since 1997. I've also been involved in several television projects since breaking into broadcasting in 1982. Oddly enough, I feel like I'm letting you in on some big secret.

For me, radio has always been more fun that television. Now, you can watch the radio by clicking your mouse. Swing on by TigerRadio.com and you can watch my radio show weekdays between 8 am and 10 am. It's a great way to see how my morning radio show sorta just comes together.

You can watch my radio show at TigerRadio.com, MyTigerTV.com, Facebook and Ustream. If you have a smart phone, you can even watch us anywhere you go.

Tiger TV is Unleashed

If you'd told me 6 months ago that I'd be launching an internet television station in the middle of winter, I'd has said that you were crazy. It looks like I'm the crazy one because WLSC has moved forward in creating and launching Tiger TV.

The offical website is MyTigerTV.com. If you're a fan of classic television shows and vintage Hollywood movies you just might like Tiger TV.

We have a 24 hour channel featuring classic Hollywood programming and new original shows, too. Our plans also include a wide variety of On Demand programs. Although, Tiger TV is advertiser supported, viewers will experience limited commercial interruptions.

Don't miss a minute of the action. We have unleashed Tiger TV and I'll borrow a phrase from another weel known cat when I say, "It's grrreat!".

Tiger Radio WLSC Celebrates 72nd Anniversary of War of the Worlds Broadcast


Loris, SC, October 28, 2008 - On Saturday, October 30th at 6:00 PM, WLSC AM 1240 & TigerRadio.com invite you to dim the lights and turn up your radio or computer speakers. Gather your family and relive one of the most spectacular radio moments during the Twentieth Century. "If you're not careful, your imagination could get the best of you.", says station owner, Banana Jack Murphy. " Tiger Radio is going to rebroadcast one of the most well known radio events on the day it happened. How cool is that?", adds Murphy, a 28 year broadcast veteran. War of the Worlds was first broadcast on October 30, 1938. The radio drama was written and produced by The Mercury Theatre on the Air. Orson Welles and his co-writer Howard Koch are credited with creating a radio drama that scared a nation.

How did Welles and his colleagues rattle an entire country? "Perhaps, it was the style of the program.", says Murphy. The drama starts off as a regular music broadcast. As listeners were tuning in for orchestra music, the radio program was interrupted by late breaking news reports of alien attacks from real name locations. Banana Jack adds, "What these guys did is incredible. You have to remember this was 72 years ago. If I was around back then, it might have fooled me too." Since The Mercury Theatre ran without commercial breaks, the dramatic effect was intensified during the original 60 minute broadcast. The effect was also compounded by many folks who tuned in late. It's estimated that a majority of listeners did just that and thus missed Orson Welles' introduction which explained that what was to follow was merely a dramatization. "Don't tune in late or you might get tricked too.”, says Banana Jack.

Tiger Radio WLSC AM 1240 and TigerRadio.com are proud to present without commercial interruption, the original Mercury Theatre presentation on Saturday, October 30, 2010 starting at 6:00 PM, which happens to be seventy two years to the day that our nation was gripped by fear. Although mass panic is not expected, the masses can tune in around the world and hear this historical rebroadcast at www.tigerradio.com.

The station plans a rebroadcast at Midnight on Saturday and also at 10:00 pm on Sunday, October 31st.


WLSC AM 1240 and TigerRadio.com are owned and operated by Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC, which was formed in 2007 by broadcast personality Banana Jack and his wife Barb Krumm. Tiger Radio WLSC broadcasts from downtown Loris, SC and features classic oldies from 1955 to 1977. Syndicated shows from legendary announcers like Dick Clark, Casey Kasem, Dick Bartley and Wolfman Jack can be heard on Tiger Radio. WLSC also features local and regional sports and entertainment programming.
