Banana Jack Will Appear on Carolina People on Tuesday, April 1st

I thought it was my job to help promote Carolina People, but Greg Everett and Shari Harms extended an invitation for me to appear on the popular daily television show and I just couldn't say "No".

Greg Everett may host the program, but it's Shari who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure Greg is loaded for bear when the tape starts rolling.

Anyway, I will be Greg Everett's guest on Tuesday, April 1st. We'll be talking about WLSC's 50 year history and my 25 years in boradcasting. We'll even highlight some of the events taking place at our Grand Opening celebration at the WLSC studios on Saturday, April 5th.

Carolina People airs weekday mornings at 7:00 on WFXB-Fox TV (Cable Channel 7). You can also watch past interviews from 2007 to the present by visiting www.carolinapeople.com.

Thanks Greg and Shari.

Stay Tuned!

WLSC featured on the Front Page of The Loris Times

Grab one quick. The March 20 - 26 edition of The Loris Times features a story about WLSC.

Gretta Burroughs, a free-lance reporter with The Loris Times interviewed me a few weeks ago and honestly, I had forgotten all about the interview until I received my copy of the paper in the mail.

Hey man, it was another front page, above-the-fold momentous occasion. You can't buy advertising like that. WOW!

Thanks to Gretta Burroughs and everyone at The Loris Times for sharing WLSC with your readers.

Stay Tuned!

WLSC Grand Opening Scheduled for April 5th

How does a radio station which has been on the air for 50 years celebrate a Grand Opening? You just do it. It's that simple.

Saturday, April 5, 2008 is a day that we hope folks will be talking about for a long time. Our Grand Opening celebration will take place on the same day that The Loris Chamber of Commerce sponsors an old-fashioned Sidewalk Sale. Does anyone remember when small town used to do this? Man, I used to get a kick when my mom would take me to town and there would be stuff on the street. Cool!

Anyway, The City of Loris is closing Main Street from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. All the merchants on Main Street will be bringing merchandise out on the sidewalk. It's going to be a day that brings a lot folks to the downtown area and we're going to capitalize on it. We're basically opening up the doors so folks can get an upclose look at how radio is made fresh daily from the cornwer of Main Street and Broad Street.

The Chamber of Commerce will swinging by for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. (Yeah!, another photo-op...Hooray!) We're even going to serve up some delicious chicken bog around lunch time. (Heck, chicken bog made Loris famous, so it can't hurt us. Right?) We're also going to have a bluegrass band join us for the day.

WLSC will be kicking off a new live radio show called Bluegrass on the Corner. Our first broadcast will feature The Morris Brothers. Bluegrass on the Corner will debut at 10:00 am and will continue until Noon. We're going to be doing a lot of live bluegrass from downtown Loris. Bluegrass on the Corner has the potential to become one of the most talked about radio shows in the Carolinas. (Hey, I'm a dreamer...)

Throughout the day, we'll also entertain the masses with a Dolly Parton impersonator and Granny Clampett from Dino's TV Variety Show, a live show which tuly is one of the undiscovered gems of nightly entertainment along the Grand Strand. (Dino's TV Variety Show can be seen at The Tara Theatre in Litchfield Beach. Visit www.dinostvvarietyshow.com for more informoation.)

During our Grand Opening, we'll also have plenty of refreshments, giveaways and prizes. As we get closer to the celebration, I'm certain that we'll be adding to the fun. So, make plans to join us and all the good folks here in Loris on Saturday, April 5th as WLSC celebrates 50 years of service to the Carolinas.
