Day & Night on KAAY

Those of you who heard KAAY only at night missed much of what made KAAY great. During the day, the 50,000 watt giant covered most of Arkansas. We participated in every local event we could find. Many years we entered the Gould, AR Turtle Derby. There was the Gilette,AR Coon Supper, The Mount Nebo Chicken Fry, and on and on. The KAAY Komando Basketball team (see archives for more) played in Havana,AR and Morrilton, AR and on and on. We did countless remotes and fun events. KAAY made a movie, I believe was titled "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago and came to Little Rock". At night there were less commercials and more chances to experiment with music. Listener calls and requests were a big part of the programming. I can not describe the feeling you get when you throw the mike switch and know that you are booming out of car radios at a drive-in in New Orleans and on the push button of cars in Quincy, Il.
