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?

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.
WLSC AM 1240 signed on in 1958 . The radio station is currently owned and operated by veteran personality Banana Jack Murphy and his wife Barb Krumm. The couple formed a new company, Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC and purchased WLSC last fall. Banana Jack Murphy took over day to day operations of WLSC on December 1, 2007. The new WLSC studios are located at the intersection of Main Street and Broad Street in downtown Loris. WLSC broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on AM 1240 and online at WLSCRadio.com.

Wild West Weekends
There's no doubt about it. I'm a cowboy wannabe. I prefer cowboy boots over sneakers. I prefer jeans (Wranglers) to dress pants. I've got a closet full of cool western shirts. I also have a nice collection of BIG belt buckles, although I don't wear too many of those.
I love western swing music and I even subscribe to Cowboys & Indians magazine.
I have 4 sets of steer horns mounted in my ranch house, which is located about 7 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. (Hey, I'm a Salt Water Cowboy!!!!)
I've got a living room full of big leather chairs and big leather ottomans. I even have a picture of John Wayne hanging on the wall by my front door.
Real cowboys would say I'm all hat and no cattle.
They may be right. My wife is almost as bad as I am. We have more pairs of boots that we'll ever wear. She has too much turquoise jewelry. Wait a second, you can never have too much jewelry. Especially turquoise.
My son, Tristan who is only 3 years old knows The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy and The Duke. I thinks it's way past time that I introduced him to "Rodeo".
Since Tristan was born, he's ridden more horses than I have. Yes, I am counting the ones outside the supermarket.
Of course, one thing that my son and I really enjoy is our Wild West Weekends. You could say it's our ...mane event. Sorry.
Now, you can have a WIld West Weekend too by tuning into AM 1240 WLSC or WLSCRadio.com on Saturday evenings.
At 7:00, Andy & Jim Nelson kick off things with a funny show called Clear Out West.
At 8:00, Red Stegall and all the boys in the bunkhouse entertain us with Cowboy Corner. (Hey, Red Steagall is in Cowboys & Indians magazine!)
At 9:00, rancher Hugh McClennan hosts The Spirit of the West.
At 10:00, Old Radio Theatre hits the air featuring a ton of old radio shows.
Boy Howdy, that's wild!
Get Wild every Saturday evening with WLSCRadio.com.
