Banana Jack for President Is Sweeping The Internet

Man, you can see and hear just about everything on the web these days. I got an e-mail tipping me off that there is a grass roots movement involving me. Can you believe that there are some folks who would actually want me to be president?

Before you answer that, check out the following link.....

Honestly, there are some folks with too much time on their hands. I must admit that this is one of the more interesting internet hoaxes. Trust me, I have no desire to be President. Well, maybe just for a day.

Hhhmmm. Wait a second. Maybe. No. Yes. Heck, I wouldn't last long as President anyway. My approach to government is...........

I'll save my opinions for when I'm actually a candidate.

If you don't get it, you don't know JACK!

Stay Tuned!

Bluegrass on the Corner Radio Show Set For Syndication in Early 2009

It's one thing to say that you're going to syndicate a program to radio stations across the country. It's another thing to actually do it. Nonetheless, production has started on Bluegrass on the Corner.

The syndicated version of Bluegrass on the Corner will debut as a one hour program in early 2009. Plans are already underway to expand the show to a two hour broadcast, but I want to see how the marketplace responds to our little bluegrass show first.

It's been a dream of mine for quite sometime to produce a radio show that originates from the Myrtle Beach area. Who knew that bluegrass would be the vehicle that got us there?

Stay Tuned!

Green Sea Floyds High School Football Kicks Off Season on WLSCRadio.com

Loris, SC, August 12, 2008

Trojan football is on the air! On August 22nd, for the first time ever, fans of Green Sea Floyds High School football will be able to enjoy the play-by-play action of the Trojans broadcast on WLSCRadio.com and also on AM 1240 WLSC. "Our game plan is simple.", says station owner, Banana Jack Murphy. "We're going to broadcast Green Sea Floyds football live on the internet every Friday night. On Saturday mornings, we'll rebroadcast the game on AM 1240 WLSC and also again on WLSCRadio.com."

The play-by-play duties will be handled by Garry Griffith, the former voice of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Most recently, Griffith has been behind the microphone in Montana as the voice of the Great Falls Voyagers, a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. "We're really thrilled to have someone of Griffith's caliber invloved with our latest broadcast venture." says, Banana Jack. "There's just one catch, Griffith will not be in the broadcast booth for the inaugural broadcast." As Green Sea Floyds kicks off the new season against East Bladen, Griffith will still be calling balls and strikes for the Voyagers as they wrap up the regular season in the Pioneer League, so WLSC has implemented plan B.

Lee Camp, who has enjoyed a long career in broadcast television, most recently at WPDE-TV 15 will be in the press box substituting for Griffith on August 22, 2008. Murphy says, "Lee is a real football fan. He's been behind the scenes at many football games. He's been in the booth and down on the sidelines. He's done it all including play-by-play. WLSC is fortunate to have Lee on board as our backup quarterback."

Bob Scarborough, one of the owners of Waccamaw Media Inc. will also provide technical assistance throughout the season for WLSCRadio.com. Scarborough and Murphy have worked together on several broadcast and internet projects for nearly 20 years. Banana Jack adds, "It just wouldn't feel right if Bob wasn't involved in some manner. He and I share a passion for community broadcasting."

During the season, coverage of Green Sea Floyds High School football will begin at 6:30 pm on WLSCRadio.com. AM 1240 WLSC will also rebroadcast the games the following Saturday morning starting at 9:00 AM.

In addition to broadcasting Green Sea Floyds High School football on WLSCRadio.com, listeners can also catch Loris Lions football. WLSC has broadcast Lions football for 23 years. Glenn Hardee and Mike Suggs, owners of Loris Broadcasting Inc. recently signed an agreement with WLSC which guarantees Loris Lions will be heard on AM 1240 WLSC for the next two seasons. "Glenn and Mike have been part of this community for years. They are synonymous with Loris Lions football.", says Murphy. He adds, "We're delighted that the Lions are returning to WLSC again this season."

During the season, coverage of Lions football starts on AM 1240 WLSC at 6:00 PM with a pre-game show and kick-off at 7:00 PM. Listeners can also tune in to Loris Lions football at WLSC Radio.com. "I think fans will really appreciate being able to follow both Loris and Green Sea games at once on our website. This is just another example of how we have raised the bar on community broadcasting and we're just getting started."

For more information on Green Sea Floyds High School football or any of the other programming on AM 1240 WLSC or WLSCRadio.com, contact Banana Jack Murphy at 843.222.4652 or visit www.wlscradio.com.
