Chickenman & KAAY



The above homemade video pays tribute to Chickenman with one of the first episodes.
While I was Program Director at KAAY, I was never able to sell management on buying the series that was in syndication called Chickenman. I wanted it badly, and the sales department was indiferent on the possiblilities of selling it to advertisers. When I became manager of KCLA in Pine Bluff, AR, we tried but could not sell it to advertisers in order to buy it and air it.

Chickenman originated with Dick Orkin, then at WCFL. The voices were mostly all WCFL staffers at the time.

Every jock/programmer/manager has their own favorite radio station that they look up to. Mine was WCFL. The Chuck Blore jingles, all the creative and different programming elements,Chickenman,the jocks, a great, great sound.
