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.

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.

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.

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.
