That was Dick Bing announcing after Amazing Grace. Chuck Hill was the DJ for the first airshaft. I taped the first hour also. I don't know if this is from my tape, though I know I loaned the tape to Colonel Flagg, and he recorded it and took it down to Cincinnati and annoyed Chuck Hill with it a few years later.

Dick Bing did the sign off cart for WKMF, and the IDs for WCRZ on this tape. It was always "WKMF is owned and operated by the Carroll Broadcasting Company". John Carroll (was earlier WKMH and WKNR Keener 13) sold WKMF and bought WIOS Tawas City around 1968. So one night in 1968, I was surprised when "Beck Ross Communications" was spliced into the sign off cart. Martin Beck and George H. Ross (yes, the one from The Apprentice) were brothers in law and once owned WTFM 103.5 Lake Success, NY, sold it at a large profit, and had then bought WGLI Babylon and later WBLI Patchogue. In late 1968 or early 1969, Beck Ross bought WGMZ. Carroll Broadcasting is now in its second generation and owns WIOS, WKJC, WQLB, WTZM, and WKJZ. The Lees bought WKMF and WGMZ from Beck Ross Communications in 1984, about the time of the format change.


Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?
