Madison Consolidated High School
MCHS Class Of 1969
Radio...WAKY, WKLO
From Byron Rohrig
Thanks to Bill Vest for the WKLO survey...if you're interested, a guy who works for a Charleston, S.C. radio station and who grew up near Louisville runs tribute Websites to WKLO and WAKY, respectively. They include airchecks of disc jockeys whom we listened to in the years we were students at good ol' MCHS...and more surveys. Much of the stuff will appeal only to radio freaks, but I think you might like hearing scoped (most of each record is removed) on-air recordings of Bill Bailey, Carl Truman Wiglesworth, Lee Gray and others at 'KLO and Gary Burbank, Bailey and a bunch of other jocks at WAKY. www.1080wklo.com and www.79waky.com
