LAS VEGAS MASS MURDER MIGHT BE WORSE<\/strong>\u00a0When we observe Las Vegas Strip mass murderer Stephen Paddock\u2019s 58 murders plus 500 wounds, we wonder what can be worse. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo reports that Paddock also fires rounds at two jet fuel tanks in front of his 32nd floor Mandalay Bay hotel room. Now, that explosion might engulf the entire area. FBI agents report that Paddock\u2019s bullets open two holes in one of two circular white jet fuel tanks about 1,100 feet from the Route 91 Harvest country music festival concert site.<\/p>\n

IS AT&T-TIME WARNER MERGER END OF ROAD FOR JEFF ZUCKER?<\/strong>\u00a0Vanity Fair reports the AT&T Time Warner $85 billion merger makes AT&T America\u2019s largest media company, that combines its distribution infrastructure with prestigious properties from HBO to TBS to Warner Brothers. If the Justice Department\u2019s antitrust division approves the deal, the big question of the day is what happens to CNN, plus, its President, Jeff Zucker? Rumors suggest that AT&T\u2019s top brass might\u00a0neutralize<\/em>\u00a0Zucker as part of the reorganization.<\/p>\n

JACK PARNELL [former Program Director\/DJ on WHBQ-560] (Memphis, TN)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Lance Russell Jim: Another friend just died yesterday\u2026his name is Lance Russell, and he put professional wrestling in the mainstream of sports nationwide. He was 92 years old and still extremely well-liked by all the professional wrestling. He and his \u201ccohort\u201d Dave Brown, would go to different places to record the matches in different cities, and the crowds crowded in. Lance and I first met in 1957 in Jackson, TN. when he was sports director at what is now WBBJ-TV, and I worked in WDXI Radio and what was then WDXI-TV He later became program director at WHBQ-TV here in Memphis, and that\u2019s where the professional wrestling programming really got it\u2019 start, by Lance and Dave. Back then, I worked at WHBQ Radio, with some work at WHBQ-TV. He\u2019s the one who gave Jerry Lawler the \u201cKing of Wrestling\u201d, and he still holds that Crown.

DUANE ALLEN [Lead singer Oak Ridge Boys] (Hendersonville, TN)<\/strong>\u00a0Jim, You have recognized what I have always worked to accomplish. There are only two things that are required to make an Oaks\u2019 Album it has the potential to be a single or, it will make a great stage show. Songs like \u201cDig a Little Deeper in the Well\u201d was not a single, But, it has been a part of our stage show for decades. Also, we don\u2019t record \u201cfavors\u201d for anybody, including our own members. I don\u2019t care who wrote, published, or pitched a song to me, if it does not stack up, it does not get recorded. So many acts find two or three great songs, then they fill up with songs they wrote or own. That is taking advantage of the customer to just make a dollar. We don\u2019t ever do that. I am happy you noticed. After 51 1\/2 years, I think that is the right decision<\/em>.<\/p>\n

STANLEY TEATER [ex KTEM-1400] (Austin-Cedar Park, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0In no particular order\u2026. there was KTEM-1400\/KPLE in Temple\u2026KTBC-TV, KVUE-TV and KEYE-TV in Austin\u2026 WTSP-TV in Tampa\/St. Pete\u2026 KNTV in San Jose., CA\u2026 WQAD-TV in the Quad Cities area of Iowa and Illinois\u2026 and WBRE-TV and WYOU-TV in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, PA. The PA situation was unique. The owners of WYOU (the CBS affiliate) paid the owners of WBRE (the NBC affiliate) to perform certain services for them. WYOU\u2019s owners ran sales, programming and traffic. We did everything else. Basically, almost their entire operation moved into our studios. We had two master control rooms, two news sets. I had to promote both newscasts. A humbling and challenging experience. By the way, I think I may remember you from your KTEM days. I remember a Rose, but did you use a first name other than Jim? Stan<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong>\u00a0On October 1, 1922 the first daily news program debuts on radio,\u00a0The Radio Digest<\/em>, which debuts on WBAY-660 (WFAN-660) in New York City.<\/p>\n

MIKE MARSHALL [former DJ on KNOK-970, KBOX-1480, KFJZ-1270, AFN-BERLIN, WFAA-820\/570, KPRC-950, KXYZ-1320, KULF-790, KQUE FM, KBME-790] (Houston, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: WFAA. Jim, Tony Lawrence also mentioned the studios. The three control rooms were, except for the size of the room, identical. Each had the red button, which meant any one could connect to either the 570 or 820 transmitter. The engineers always wanted to do \u201cmaintenance\u201d when I was working on Saturday afternoons. As far as I could tell it consisted of squirting Windex on the face of the VU meters and it took about two hours, which meant I had to move everything, records, carts, copy book, the log from the main control room to the production room and back again what seems like every Saturday. No other station came close to this level of periodic maintenance. Also, I\u2019m still waiting to hear Tony\u2019s story how he got into American Forces Radio as a draftee. In my case it was incredible luck and considerable clout from my congressman, Rep. Jim Wright from Fort Worth.
