What A Week It Has Been
Last Thursday, I was fortunate enough to be present when Q Rock Radio.com debuted. John Van Pelt fired things up on the microphone. There were television crews present and our local daily newspaper had already given us some great press online and in print, as well.
Freakin' Deacon was there. Doctor Bob Chase, too. Mixin' Dixon worked his magic. Bob Scarborough did his thing as well. Bill Hennecy, the man who inspired (...and SCARED) so many in radio, even made an appearance. Now, that I think about it, Hennecy scared a lot of folks outside of the radio game, too. I've got stories that I'll have to share some other day.
How about this? I even got do an hour on the first day of Q Rockin' from Broadway at the Beach. Although, I'm on the air Monday through Friday at my station, WLSC....something happened when I said, "Q Rock Radio!" I'm here to tell you that you could just feel the electricity in the air.
That first day on Q Rock only wet my appetite for more. I had obligations at my station last Friday, so I only got to hang out at Q Rock for about a half hour on day 2.
Saturday in the Sun Fun City. WOW! I read online that Johnny D. is in the studio. He's the guy that hired me back in 1989. He's the one responsible for bringing me to Myrtle Beach. I grabbed my 4 year old son, Tristan and drove as fast as I could to the studios at Broadway at the Beach.
When I got there Johnny had already departed. "Is he coming back?" "How did he look?" "Why was in such a hurry?" I was never that excited about Johnny when we worked together. He always scored more babes than I did. Now that we're both married with kids, things have changed.....a lot!
One of his old girlfriends did swing by. I had to tell her, "You just missed him." Ironic, huh? It was like the old days and I liked it.
I hung around listening to Freakin' Deacon and John Van Pelt. A friend stopped by with his son and I gave him the Q Rock Tour. We had lunch together.
When we rolled back to Rock 'n Roll Heaven, Hennecy was there. More stories. I picked up some great marketing pointers from Henn-Man that afternoon. Then!!! Johnny D. walks in with his three daughters. (Quick! Grab the camera.) He wasn't there more than 10 minutes, but I did get a photo with the man responsible for introducing me to Bill Hennecy and Tom Rogers.
At 5:00, I got to do 2 hours on Q Rock!!!!! I even airchecked myself. Crazy. Just crazy!
As for Sunday and Memorial Day, I spent those days with the family. I don't do enough of that. Nonetheless, I still listened to Q Rock most of the day on Monday. I fired up my laptop and plugged in my tiny, Part 15 compliant FM transmitter and broadcast Q Rock to my backyard.....YEAH! Q Rock helped me get through the brutality of preparing my backyard for a few pallets of sod being delivered to the house this week.
As I write this, I haven't been back to the Broadway at the Beach studios, but I will. I've been busy catching up because I took Monday off this week. Anyway, I've been rockin' with the Q as I travel. I grabbed that tiny, part 15 compliant FM transmitter and plugged into my laptop, along with my AT&T wireless card and Voila!!!!!!!!, It's Q Rock on the go. I can take it anywhere.
Soon, internet access will be in your vehicle. You can already listen on the I-Phone and other PDAs. Locally, HTC Communications just started offering the I-Phone. The Q Crew is back leading the charge in a digital age. I'm fortunate to be a part of it.
I feel like it's history in the making and it's only Wednesday afternoon. Sure, it's only been a week, but..... Oh!, what a week it has been.
Stay Tuned!

The Bargain Barn Gets A Facelift
The Bargain Barn has been a major part of the programming on WLSC for many years. The show used to air weekday mornings from 8:00 - 10:00. Periodically, the popular show would be broadcast on Saturday mornings too.
Somewhere along the way, The Bargain Barn lost its identity. For years, listeners called and basically broadcast their free classfied ads on the air. Once there was lively banter between the hosts of the show and the listeners. It was interactive radio at its best.
Just up the road from WLSC, another well run radio station has a similar program. They do it about as well as I've ever heard. Their program also aired at the same time as The Bargain Barn. It didn't take me long to realize that we'd need to revamp The Bargain Barn as soon as I took over the day to day operations of the radio station.
My first move was changing the time that The Bargain Barn aired. We moved the show to afternoons. The program started airing at 4:00 PM and continued until 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. I even brought in a new host for the show.
Just as the host of the show decided to pursue new opportunities, I had decided to make another round of changes to The Bargain Barn.
I can tell you that it was not my plan to step in as host of the show, but it worked out that way and I couldn't be happier.
Over the holidays, I had time to think about repositioning The Bargain Barn. I had this concept in the back of mind for quite some time, but until I started putting things down on paper, I wasn't making any progress.
BOOM! It hit me. The Bargain Barn wasn't just going to get a facelift. We were going to completely change the program and the way our radio station does business.
In a nutshell, we're establishing business relationships with new clients, that have never advertised on our radio station.....Never. Because of this unique concept, we can now offer goods and services to listeners of The Bargain Barn at savings of 40-60% retail prices.
Dining, entertainment, travel and services like automotive and home improvement are just a few of the categories where listeners can save Big Bucks.
The Bargain Barn Radio Network debuts on March 4, 2009. Listeners and interested advertisers are invited to visit www.bargainbarnradio.com for more details.

BOOM! It hit me. The Bargain Barn wasn't just going to get a facelift. We were going to completely change the program and the way our radio station does business.
In a nutshell, we're establishing business relationships with new clients, that have never advertised on our radio station.....Never. Because of this unique concept, we can now offer goods and services to listeners of The Bargain Barn at savings of 40-60% retail prices.
Dining, entertainment, travel and services like automotive and home improvement are just a few of the categories where listeners can save Big Bucks.
The Bargain Barn Radio Network debuts on March 4, 2009. Listeners and interested advertisers are invited to visit www.bargainbarnradio.com for more details.

Getting Informed On Saturday Mornings
I think it was Aaron Tippin who sang, "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio". If you tune in to WLSC on any given Saturday, you're going to hear something new. We've just made a few changes to our lineup. Your radio is working properly.
Let's Talk Nutrition, which airs at 9:00 AM is a brand new program on WLSC's Saturday morning lineup. The program is hosted by Dr. Michael Garko, Ph.D. Let's Talk Nutrition originates in Tampa, Florida and focuses on health and nutrition experts with extensive knowledge of complementary, alternative, and traditional medicine.
Since December, listeners to WLSC have enjoyed the informative program, Horry County Community Calendar. The public affairs program produced and hosted by Herb Malsman airs every Saturday morning at 10:00. Malsman hosted a similar program in New York City. Horry County Community Calendar features interviews with area newsmakers and celebrities and spotlights upcoming events of interest to residents of Horry County.
Immediately following Horry County Community Calendar is the new legal advice program, Ask Jim Law. This 30 minute program focuses on legal issues that are making local and national headlines. The show is produced locally and is hosted by Myrtle Beach attorney, Jim Irvin Jr.
American Country Countdown, hosted by Kix Brooks which used to air on Saturday mornings from 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM can now be hard on Saturday evenings from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM.

LONG LIVE THE KING!
South Carolina Radio Station Goes "All Elvis" to Celebrate Elvis' Birthday
Loris, SC, January 7, 2008 - Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. He would be 73 tomorrow, (January 8) had he lived. AM 1240 WLSC in Loris, SC will suspend normal programming to pay tribute to the undisputed "King of Rock & Roll" starting at midnight tonight.
"It will be non-stop Elvis all day long.", says station manager, Banana Jack Murphy. WLSC will be featuring all of Elvis' big hits as well as some of his more obscure recordings. Murphy adds, "Elvis sang rock, country, gospel, blues. He recorded so many songs that we could be here for days playing all of his recordings." As Banana Jack was doing research for this event, he discovered that Elvis recorded more than 700 songs.
This latest tribute to Elvis Presley should come as no surprise to those listeners that are familiar with Banana Jack's on air antics. Murphy introduced Leon Frazier," The World's Worst Elvis Impersonator" to his radio audience in 1989. Leon Frazier delighted audiences every morning on the ongoing radio feature, Elvis Weather. "I am almost certain that Leon Frazier will be making an appearance. If not, I'll be wearing the white jump suit tomorrow." says Murphy.
Listeners can hear the "All Elvis Tribute" on AM 1240 WLSC starting at 12:00 Midnight (tonight) and continuing until 7:00 PM (January 8). The station will also broadcast it's "All Elvis Tribute" online at WLSCRadio.com for Elvis fans around the world.
WLSC AM 1240 and WLSCRadio.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. WLSC broadcasts from downtown Loris, SC and features country, bluegrass and gospel music plus local and regional sports and entertainment programming.
