Banana Jack in the Afternoon?????

Howdy!

For those of you wondering if I was having as much fun as it sounded this afternoon, I can honestly tell you....YES!!!!

Since I took over the day to day operations of WLSC, I've been the first one getting to the station in the morning and the last one leaving in the evening.

Juggling all the duties of general manager, program director and on air personality has made me weary. I learned the hard way that there's a tremendous difference between "busy" and "productive".

Having said that, I've learned how to work smarter.

Moving to afternoons is just another step in my new business plan. I will be making many more changes to the programming lineup at Tiger Radio WLSC in the next few weeks.

Sales and marketing are getting a makeover, too. As for the website, many of you have seen some of the changes and there will be more.

Today, I had a lot of fun just concentrating on the radio show and nothing else. It was the most fun that I'd had in a while.

I'm doing some new things, but many old favorites came along for the afternoon show including Leon Frazier, The World's Worst Elvis Impersonator and Harold Dean. Last week, I even spent a day in the studio recording 4 new song parodies.

Wanna hear the show? Tune in weekday afternoons 2- 6 on AM 1240 WLSC, Tiger Radio!

See ya on the Radio!!!!!

27 Years and Counting

Every April Fools' Day, I'm reminded that way back in 1983, I was granted a broadcast license from the FCC.

Can you believe there once was a time when you had to take a test before you could be on the radio? Based on the current condition of radio, perhaps we should consider bringing back the test.

For me, I just mailed in a form and a few weeks later I was offically licensed to communicate on the airwaves. It was an exciting moment when I received my license with the seal of the Federal Communications Commission. For me, I'd dreamed of being a radio announcer since I was 7 years old.

Nonetheless, while I didn't have to take a test, I still learned the correct way to figure direct and indirect power. There once was a time when I could even figure out the antenna base current ratio.

Time have changed. Radio keeps evolving. So, do I.

Now as a station owner, I realize the last 27 years have been more exciting than I ever imagined. Of course, exciting would not be the adjective of choice to describe the past 2 years, but as I said, "I'm evolving!"

So on this April Fool's Day, I can't help but remember it was back in 1983 that someone at the FCC office in Washington, DC granted me a radio telephone operators license.

It was a day that changed my life, but the fact that it happened on April Fools' Day has always made me chuckle.
