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.

Santa Claus to Host Radio Show in South Carolina
Loris, SC, December 11, 2008 - Santa Claus is coming to town and he's on the air. Believe it or not, Kris Kringle will be hosting his own talk radio show on AM 1240 WLSC in Loris, SC. Station manager, Banana Jack Murphy says this may be the first time that Santa Claus has actually hosted his own radio show. "In my 27 years of broadasting, I've never had the opportunity to work this closely with Santa Claus. For him to travel over 4,000 miles to host a radio show for WLSC, especially this time of the year is totally awesome!"
Santa's first day on the air will be Wednesday, December 17 between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Listeners will also be able to hear Ol' St. Nick between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Thursday, December 18 and Friday, December 19. Santa will also be on the air between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Monday, December 22 and Tuesday, December 23. Kids of all ages are encouraged to call Santa during his radio show. The studio number is 843-756-JACK (5225).
If you're not within the the station's listening area, don't worry. In addition to being broadcast on AM 1240 WLSC, kids all over the world can tune in to Santa Claus on the station's website, WLSCRadio.com. Murphy laughs, "Since Santa is such a celebrity, we may may have a tough time booking him again next year, but we're hoping this becomes an annual holiday tradition."
Santa Claus hosting his own radio show in Loris might cause a traffic jam or two. WLSC's studios are located on Main Street at the corner of U.S. 701 and SC 9, which happens to be one of the busiest intersections in the area. You can actually see Santa on the air as you drive by the station. Murphy says he believes this will make Santa's talk show even more exciting.
For those children who aren't able to get on the air and speak with Santa during his radio shows, Banana Jack has provided an alternative. Murphy is inviting people to go online and visit SantaFone.com, a website that offers personal, interactive phone calls from Santa Claus.
"We're really excited about Santa Fone.", says Murphy. "It's an inexpensive way for kids to experience the excitement of Santa Claus." He adds, "It's also easy to do. You just visit the website and make a reservation for Santa to make a personal call to your kids or grandchildren. You even get to pick the date and time that Santa will call." After Santa talks to your children, Santa Fone.com will send you a recording of the call. It's a gift that that they'll be talking about for a long time and you'll always have a lasting keepsake.
This year, Murphy just hopes to cover his expenses, but nonetheless is still giving $1.00 from every purchase on SantaFone.com to The Shriners Hospitals for Children. The website will be operational through Christmas Day.
"Some might say that we've gone overboard with our Christmas programming this year and they may be right." says Banana Jack. "In addition to Santa Fone and all the zany holiday things we're doing on WLSC, we also have The Christmas Channel on our website, which features holiday music nonstop through New Years Day. Yeah, now that I think about it, we may have overdone it, but I don't think you can have enough of the Christmas spirit."
WLSC AM 1240, WLSCRadio.com and SantaFone.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.

The Christmas Channel is On The Air at WLSCRadio.com
Loris, SC, November 12, 2008 - On Saturday, November 1, 2008 WLSCRadio.com fired up The Christmas Channel. The first song to play was Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley. WLSC owner Banana Jack Murphy says, "When you're a small town radio station, you occasionally have to shake things up a little bit. As far as I know, WLSC is the first radio station in the area to play Christmas music."
WLSC AM 1240 which is located at the busy intersection of Main Street and Broad Street in downtown Loris appears to be ready for Santa. In addition to playing Christmas music, the station is already decorated for the holidays. "Folks driving through town were giving me strange looks as they saw me decorating a Christmas tree on the day after Halloween." says Murphy. He adds, "Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I just couldn't wait any longer. Some folks are saying this might be a rotten Christmas because of the economy. I say Bah-Humbug! to that. If we can get a few more folks in the spirit a little earlier this year then who knows what might happen. I'm an eternal optimist."
For now, when you listen to AM 1240 WLSC you'll have to settle for an occasional holiday song, but it's non-stop Christmas on the station's website, www.WLSCRadio.com. Banana Jack says, "We give visitors to our website the option of listening to our regular programming on Channel One or they can get a head start on the holidays with our sceond audio channel, The Christmas Channel. It's non-stop Christmas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." As it get closer to Christmas, Murphy says WLSC will broadcast even more holiday music. In addition to holiday music, WLSC and The Christmas Channel will feature holidays specials and old radio shows with a Christmas theme. Some of the old radio shows include Jack Benny, Burns and Allen, Duffy's Tavern and Dragnet.
Folks visiting the stations website, www.WLSCRadio.com will also find there's a lot more to do at The Christmas Channel than just listen to Christmas carols. One unique feature is the Santa Fone. Children are able to talk to Santa by clicking on the Santa Fone. Murphy is really excited about this feature on the website and proudly declares, "My 3 year old son inspired me to create Santa Fone. He's been asking me for months, over and over, when Santa Claus was coming. After awhile, I told him, I'm going to have to get Santa to call you himself....Hey, wait a second. Who wouldn't want to get a phone call from Santa Claus? So, the next thing you know, we got the ball rolling and created Santa Fone.com." Children will also be able to track Santa as he prepares for his journey on Christmas Eve. You can even see what the weather is like at the North Pole and at Santa Claus, Indiana too. Visitors can also check the holiday calendar for parades, concerts and other events. The website even features holiday stories, recipes and more.
Banana Jack adds, "If you're not in the Christmas spirit now you will be after visiting the Christmas Channel. If you need a little Ho! Ho! Ho! then Go! Go! Go! to WLSCRadio.com and visit The Christmas Channel."

WLSC Celebrates 70th Anniversary of War of the Worlds Broadcast
Loris, SC, October 13, 2008 - On Thursday, October 30th at 9:00 PM, WLSC AM 1240 & WLSCRadio.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. " WLSC is going to rebroadcast one of the most well known radio events on the day it happened. How cool is that?", adds Murphy, a 27 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 70 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.
WLSC AM 1240 and WLSCRadio.com are proud to present without commercial interruption, the original Mercury Theatre presentation on Thursday, October 30, 2008 starting at 9:00 PM. Seventy 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.wlscradio.com.
Following the War of the Worlds rebroadcast, listeners will also be able to enjoy a special presentation of Old Radio Theatre which will follow at 10:00 PM.

The Best of Banana Jack to Air Daily on WLSC & WLSCRadio.com
A few months ago, I started referring to AM 1240 WLSC as "The Banana Channel". On Friday, September 12, 2008, we did a soft launch of what I had envisioned.
Too often, folks ask me whatever happened to Harold Dean or Leon Frazier or Claude & Earl? These are just a few of the wacky characters that were a part of my radio show during my many years at WKZQ 101.7 and Wave 104.1 (WYAV).
Well, the answer is...They're Back!
Monday through Friday, starting at 6:00 AM and continuing through 4:00 PM, listeners to AM 1240 WLSC and WLSCRadio.com can relive some of those hilarious moments from days gone by. It was actually fun going through the countless hours of tape and cds and mini-discs to put together the collection of audio goodies that we'll be serving up on the radio. It's really the best of my stuff. (I'll even be spotlighting material from my early days in radio up in North Carolina before I became Banana Jack.
There's a whole lot of stuff that I've saved through the years. I was actually surprised at the number of song parodies that I recorded over the years. There's also bogus commercials and celebrity impersonations. I've done my fair share of celebrity interviews through the years as well. It's all going to be included.
Archiving the material and preparing it for broadcast is an on going process. I've only scratched the surface, but if you ever wondered why I was calling our little radio station, "The Banana Channel", tune in and find out.
Those classic episodes of Leave it to Beaver are coming. Mr. Know-It-All, David Del Rancho, Mr. Roberts and even more of those wacky songs are on the way.
Now, for those who'd worry that I'm shaking things up at AM 1240, I assure you that we're still committed to being a full service station for Loris. We're simply building on the foundation of WLSC and expanding the audience. Thanks to the world wide web, we're only limited by our imagination and creativity.
Thanks to everyone for checking out "that little station in Loris."
You won't believe what we're up to next. It's BIG!
Stay tuned!
