KAAY 1090

The following is from a public radio FM page: Storyteller: John Philpot

For many years, Philpot has entertained folks with his stories, both on the air and at events across the U.S. and Canada. Raised in Mena, Philpot has a B.S. degree in agriculture and a master’s degree in educational media from the University of Arkansas. He was an extension agent in Clark and Miller counties and a radio and television specialist in the state extension office. He worked as farm director at KAAY radio in Little Rock, KATV Channel 7 and the Arkansas Radio Network. He has hosted Arkansas Outdoors on the Arkansas Educational Television Network since its inception in 1992.

John Philpot followed Marvin Vines as Farm Director of KAAY. I have written a lot of material on Marvin and if you are new to the blog or haven't read any, just put "Marvin Vines" in the upper left search window and click on search this blog.

I always thought "Vines" was such a great name for a farm director. He was one of the very few ever on the air at KAAY to use his real name. Wayne Moss I believe used his real name the second time he was at the station. He was the first Sonny Martin and when he returned that name was in use, so he used his real name. He was also program director at that time. A lot of us worked at KAAY two different times.
