New airchecks to be posted tomorrow

Hello everyone! Sorry if there have not been any updates. I have not had a lot of time to post on this blog.

Good news: Tomorrow, there will be some new airchecks. These airchecks come to the blog courtesy of Chad Austin.

Some highlights include a WIMZ-FM TOH (top of hour) sweeper, a 95.3 WTNZ aircheck featuring Shara Knight, and a clip of The Bandit on WOKI-FM 100.3.

I am still looking for any logos. The "95.3 WTNZ" logo will be uploaded onto the site on the station history of 95.3 tomorrow as well.

Have a good day everyone and tale care.

Looking for station logos for my station histories I have posted

I apologize if I have not updated this site in quite some time. I have been busy with college and will be graduating from college in just a few days.

I am looking for any vintage Knoxville radio station logos. I am thinking of adding those logos onto the station histories I posted onto this blog.

Email me at KnoxvilleTV@yahoo.com and I will be happy to post them.

Oh and here is what logos I am looking for:

1) The WNKX "Kix 95" logo with the zebra
2) The WETQ "Q-94" logo
3) The WKNF "Magic 94" logo
4) The WTNZ-FM "Power 95" logo

and...

5) Any other Knoxville radio station logos from the past.

Have a good Monday and take care.

Big Announcement

Hello everyone! I do have a big announcement and this is absolutely good news. I will be co-creating a radio station tribute site. The site will pay tribute to a short-lived top 40 station known as "POWER 95". As many of you who know, the calls were WTNZ-FM. Before that, the station was known as "95-3 TNZ" where they played a CHR/Dance format.

I am going to keep the site open because I enjoy learning about Knoxville radio history and I enjoy posting airchecks. I will be creating the "POWER 95" tribute site with Chad Austin. This site it will feature airchecks, pictures, and so much more.

Keep it right here for the link to the "POWER 95" tribute site and keep it here for more airchecks coming very soon.

Stay tuned in the next few days for a clip of Ashley Adams doing the afternoon show on WLIQ-AM 1340.

Coming very soon

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone has had a good week so far. It has been a good one for me and I have enjoyed it. Why the topic "coming very soon"? Well, you're about to find out in this post.

Coming in the next few days, some more classic Knoxville radio clips are going to be posted. Some highlights includes a Colvin Idol newsbreak he did on WIMZ from 1986 and a clip of Shotgun Stevens with Danny The Geek from 1985. That clip of Danny the Geek and Shotgun has to be the funniest clip I have ever heard. Another highlight has to be a jingle for WMYU-FM 102.1 from 1986 when they were U-102.

I have already put the clips onto Esnips and sometime on Saturday night or Sunday, I will post the links to the airchecks for anyone who wants to hear those airchecks.

And that's not all, you will also hear a classic aircheck of Ashley Adams, the current morning DJ doing an afternoon shift on WLIQ-AM 1340 from 1988. For those who do not know this or for many of you who know, WLIQ-AM 1340 was known as "13Q" and played oldies at the time.

These airchecks come to us from Chad Austin so thanks to Chad for these wonderful airchecks.

Also, don't forget to check out my favorite website I visit everyday called "Knoxville Radio History 101". The site features lots of good pictures and lots of interesting information.
