I thought it was my job to help promote Carolina People, but Greg Everett and Shari Harms extended an invitation for me to appear on the popular daily television show and I just couldn't say "No".
Greg Everett may host the program, but it's Shari who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure Greg is loaded for bear when the tape starts rolling.
Anyway, I will be Greg Everett's guest on Tuesday, April 1st. We'll be talking about WLSC's 50 year history and my 25 years in boradcasting. We'll even highlight some of the events taking place at our Grand Opening celebration at the WLSC studios on Saturday, April 5th.
Carolina People airs weekday mornings at 7:00 on WFXB-Fox TV (Cable Channel 7). You can also watch past interviews from 2007 to the present by visiting www.carolinapeople.com.
Thanks Greg and Shari.

WLSC featured on the Front Page of The Loris Times
Grab one quick. The March 20 - 26 edition of The Loris Times features a story about WLSC.
Gretta Burroughs, a free-lance reporter with The Loris Times interviewed me a few weeks ago and honestly, I had forgotten all about the interview until I received my copy of the paper in the mail.
Hey man, it was another front page, above-the-fold momentous occasion. You can't buy advertising like that. WOW!
Thanks to Gretta Burroughs and everyone at The Loris Times for sharing WLSC with your readers.

WLSC Grand Opening Scheduled for April 5th
How does a radio station which has been on the air for 50 years celebrate a Grand Opening? You just do it. It's that simple.
Saturday, April 5, 2008 is a day that we hope folks will be talking about for a long time. Our Grand Opening celebration will take place on the same day that The Loris Chamber of Commerce sponsors an old-fashioned Sidewalk Sale. Does anyone remember when small town used to do this? Man, I used to get a kick when my mom would take me to town and there would be stuff on the street. Cool!
Anyway, The City of Loris is closing Main Street from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. All the merchants on Main Street will be bringing merchandise out on the sidewalk. It's going to be a day that brings a lot folks to the downtown area and we're going to capitalize on it. We're basically opening up the doors so folks can get an upclose look at how radio is made fresh daily from the cornwer of Main Street and Broad Street.
The Chamber of Commerce will swinging by for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. (Yeah!, another photo-op...Hooray!) We're even going to serve up some delicious chicken bog around lunch time. (Heck, chicken bog made Loris famous, so it can't hurt us. Right?) We're also going to have a bluegrass band join us for the day.
WLSC will be kicking off a new live radio show called Bluegrass on the Corner. Our first broadcast will feature The Morris Brothers. Bluegrass on the Corner will debut at 10:00 am and will continue until Noon. We're going to be doing a lot of live bluegrass from downtown Loris. Bluegrass on the Corner has the potential to become one of the most talked about radio shows in the Carolinas. (Hey, I'm a dreamer...)
Throughout the day, we'll also entertain the masses with a Dolly Parton impersonator and Granny Clampett from Dino's TV Variety Show, a live show which tuly is one of the undiscovered gems of nightly entertainment along the Grand Strand. (Dino's TV Variety Show can be seen at The Tara Theatre in Litchfield Beach. Visit www.dinostvvarietyshow.com for more informoation.)
During our Grand Opening, we'll also have plenty of refreshments, giveaways and prizes. As we get closer to the celebration, I'm certain that we'll be adding to the fun. So, make plans to join us and all the good folks here in Loris on Saturday, April 5th as WLSC celebrates 50 years of service to the Carolinas.

Carolina People & GE Media Secures Naming Rights at WLSC
Since January 1st, at the top of every hour, WLSC has been promoting the television show, Carolina People hosted by Greg Everett. Greg and I started talking about this before I even took over the day to day operations of WLSC, so to finalize the deal is really exciting. We're honored to have GE Media on board.
Greg Everett, who I consider a close personal friend, has worked closely with me on several projects over the last decade and I'm thrilled to have him involved with what we're doing at WLSC radio. We initially did this deal on a handshake and finally got around to finalizing the contract this week.
Now, without getting into all the boring legal and monetary details, just pay close attention to the Legal IDs which air around the top of every hour.
Greg and his company, GE Media, saw the real value in acquiring naming rights to our new studios. In addition to promotional announcements at the top of every hour, Carolina People has also acquired ad space on our vintage style marquee located at the corner of Main Street and Broad Street in downtown Loris. WLSC will also be promoting other GE Media ventures in the not so distant future.
If you're interested in watching Carolina People you can catch the popular program on WFXB - FOX TV (Channel 43) at 7:00 AM every Monday through Friday. The show is archived online, from the 2007 season to the present. The website is www.carolinapeople.com.

Quit Please, We're Broadcasting
Man, what have I done? No more sleeping past 6:00 AM. I have returned to morning radio. My first morning back (January 28) was not what I had anticipated. How could it be that I couldn't think of witty things to say. My timing was off. I actually felt like I was working. Man, I was rusty.
By the end of the week, I was getting back in the groove, but gone are the days of just concentrating on a radio show. As station owner and on-air personality and account executive and janitor, I find that there's always something going on. I don't think I've seen the top of my desk in three weeks. What is the deal with all this paperwork.
Just as soon as I think I'm making a little progress....screech! Put on the brakes, there's another speedbump!
I've obviously had to learn how to delegate. I certainly can't do it all, but I'm getting more creative with my time management. (Who says men can't multi-task?)
You can catch the morning show weekdays at 6:00 AM. I usually hang around the microphone until 10:00 AM. Please be gentle with your criticism. The old kid is just plain rusty.

Check out WLSC in The Loris Scene
Go to the newsstand and pick up a copy of The Loris Scene. Before I headed off to the frozen tundra of Toledo and Detroit, I was interviewed for a follow-up story. During the interview, my 3 year old son, Tristan interrupted me to assist him with potty training. In fact, he came running up to me with his pants already off. It was one of those moments that only a parent could enjoy. Perhaps, enjoyment is not the right word, but it was funny.
So, the interview came to an end (no pun intended...) and I couldn't recall what I even said. So, your guess is as good as mine. Go ahead and pick up a copy and see for yourself.
A friend of mine asked me earlier today if I'd seen the paper today. I had to say "No. Not yet." I couldn't get my hands on The Loris Scene in Detroit, but since I'm back home....How about two or three copies? After all, I have to send one to my mother-in-law.

Good Morning Bob!
For those of you wondering about the "new" voice on WLSC, wonder no more. It was my buddy, Bob Scarborough. Bob was kind enough to fill-in for me while I was visiting family and freezing in Ohio. Boy, it sure was cold!
I got up one morning and it was 1 degree with a wind chill of -10. Ouch!
For the record, I was visiting my wife's family. As a matter of fact, we attended a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law. ( I can never, ever, ever, never tell you how old she was or is....forget it) So, now it's back to the grind.
I'll continue working behind the scenes until Monday, January 28th. Although, I have been heard from time to time on WLSC, The Banana Jack Murphy Show doesn't officially return until next week.
Good Morning Bob will return from time to time whenever I have to hit the road.
Thanks Bob
