Johnny Pirkle’s Oak Ridge FM, Inc. has “taken back” 100.3, ending the LMA with Citadel Broadcasting. The switch was flipped at midnight, following a week of unpredictable and sometimes bizarre stunting audio. We heard pigs, ‘Facebook Radio’, ‘Bill Clinton Radio’, instructions on how to put callers on-the-air, airchecks of vintage Knoxville radio broadcasts, a short clip of John Records Landecker on WLS/Chicago from 1977, obscure cover versions of several songs, etc. Finally, after an extended version of Steam’s “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye”, General Manager Ed Brantley welcomed everyone to the new WNOX 100.3.
Here’s the entire changeover, courtesy of The Detour Network, East Tennessee’s truly independent radio network: http://thedetour.us/player/wnoxformatchange/
