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.

The Mighty Tiger Drive-In

Some of my happiest moments as a child were spent at drive-in theaters with my family. Mmmm, the aroma of fresh popcorn and hotdogs filled the air in those really large cars we rode in the 60s and 70s.

In the summer, my dad would put those ridiculous mosquito coils on the dash of his American-made automobile so the kids wouldn't get bit by skeeters. Does anyone remember those?

Yes, those were the days. I bet the memories are even sweeter for those of you who attended drive-in theaters during the 50s. It was just a more simpler time.

Now, I've recreated the drive-in experience on our website (www.tigerradio.com). Now is when you're supposed to say, "You're kidding."

To be completely honest, I think the idea is more exciting that actually sitting in front of your computer and watching a movie, but I decided to do it anyway.

Simply, look for the drive-in theater logo on the homepage and click. Suddenly, you're transported to The Mighty Tiger Drive In Theater.

As we launch today, we offer a Double Feature. You can watch "Suddenly" a thriller starring Frank Sinatra or "At War With The Army", which is a Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis flick.

you even have option of switching to full screen mode. If you have a broadband internet connection, you're really going to enjoy the experience.

Best of all, you don't have to worry about driving off with a speaker attached to your window.

Enjoy the movies and just so you know, we're still trying to figure out how to create the virtual concession stand.

Classic Movies, Vintage TV Shows and Live Events - Coming Soon

I've dabbled with video on the internet for the last couple of years. I still remember getting excited over webcam images that rereshed every 15 seconds. Well, to quote the old cigarette ad, "You've come a long way, baby."

Wow. I've seen great video through both LiveStream and UStream. Currently, my colleagues at Q Rock Radio.com are using LiveStream. I decided to give UStream a shot. BINGO!

I was blown away by the quality and my cameras are not the best on the market. In fact, I'm operating on a shoestring budget, but it works. It works really well.

So, after testing several software products, I discovered that I could start broadcasting a lot more than just what was captured by my studio cameras.

This week, I've started broadcasting archived video from my personal collection. I have a ton of public domain movies and classic television shows from yesteryear.

The video is not perfect, but it's close. You can still enjoy our broadcasts without getting twisted out of synch over an occasional slight rebuffering.

So, tune in for the next few weeks. You'll see some really strange things happening on the website (www.tigerradio.com), but as I tell so many who keep asking me, "What are you doing?"

I can only reply, "Stay Tuned!"

WLSC Tiger Radio will be featuring classic movies, vintage tv shows and boy, I can't wait for those live events.

Radio has been doing live remotes forever, but I promise you that WLSC will be the first to do a live video remote.

I'm ready to start tomorrow!

Tiger TV is On The Air!

Today, we launched Tiger TV. Actually, we launched Tiger TV with archived video a few weeks ago. Nonetheless, having live streaming video is a nice addition to our website.

It's really cool having folks check out the video, but cameras in the studio are going to take some getting used too.

Although, this is a tremendous tool for marketing the station. Tiger Radio is poised to offer new promtional and marketing ideas for our existing and new advertisers.

In today's climate, you have to provide value for your sponsors. That's always been my stance, even when times were good.

For now, we're broadcasting my afternoon show every weekday afternoon. We're also broadcasting a traffic cam at the intersection of Main Street and Broad Street in downtown Loris. (That's one busy intersection.)

Smile as you drive by. You never know who's watching.

Radio with Pictures

Coming soon to the WLSC website is live streaming video of our radio programming. I've been contemplating the addition of cameras in the studio for quite some time. Surprisingly, the large broadcast groups in the Myrtle Beach radio market have not implemented this technology.

Oh well, let's chalk up another one for the independent broadcaster. Lights. Cameras. Action. Tiger Radio is about to become Tiger TV! Yeah, radio with pictures.

Stay Tuned.

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.
