KAAY 1090

Today is a very rare audio treat. It is a jock promo that features the voices of the original DJ's that started when KAAY went on the air. As many know, KAAY used a set of disc jockey names that seldom changed. The person may have changed several times, i.e. there were three Doc Holidays. Sometimes the names were retired. The next generation of names were usually an inside joke. Clyde Clifford of Beaker Street fame, was named after the corporate controller of LIN broadcasting. These names were usually the doings of manager Pat Walsh. Notice especially the writing. Anyone who knows Mike McCormick (Jim Hankins) will recognize the style. He was the first program director for the Mighty 1090 and would write a 2 minute promo extolling the virtures of spring. He would write a promo for each season. More on McCormick's original ideas later. For now enjoy this promo and see if you can identify the real names of the voices you will hear. Here is the link http://www.members.cox.net/lindse/KAAY.mp3
