Population, 1800, on the edge of a Native American reservation. It was there that Dave Anderson created famous Dave's, Bar-B-Que.
How does that relate to the Knytes and or me?
The Knytes way back in our dark ages said lets create the very best of the best radio station that there is, no matter the service market,
size of town or those that would hinder or ridicule it.
Like Dave , who loved his choice of enterprise, I have a passion for this medium called radio. To me radio is magic. Radio reaches into every place anyone is. Radio is very intimate, since through that tiny transistor, or large, super stereo , I enter your ears. Just like all the pioneers and risk takers in radio, from Charley Douglas who created the original Road Gang, to Howard Stern, mixing in WolfMan Jack, and Dr. Demento . Such celebrities as George Carlin, and many comics, even legendary Johnny Carson, Waylon Jennings, and more got started in radio. Waylon worked at many radio stations including one here in Idaho, over in Blackfoot as well as in Salt Lake City, the list goes on. The fact is I love music, of all forms, I love slap stick comedy and I love drama. As such all these things, came and continue to come into your life through radio.
I love the way a certain song can make a persons day, I am honored to deliver that most important news story, or send you out to the High School basketball game through a live play by play broadcast. This is radio.
Radio over the years has nearly caved, to IPODS, Cell phone tuners, IPADS , and satellite, but remember there is still someone in a 5X5 studio, behind a mic. Too bad the music is no longer listener generated or segwayed by a personality that bridge one song to another or build a play list, by both Known artists, as well as many not so known artists.
I’m lucky, I learned from the very best, in our area. From Kelly at KEEP(now KEZJ) to Country Joe at KSOP, in Salt Lake City, and many others, yes even WolfMan Jack himself.
I remember legends in this business, Like Robert W Morgan, Cassy Kassm, and others. Bill Mack(Wrote Blue for Leann Rhymes) and all too many others. These are the people I drew from in creating my on air personality from.
But to deliver quality ultra groovy radio, needs a belief. More over, a radio station program director, with an open mind, not one scared of putting on something that might piss of the religious persuasion, but rather someone who says do what you feel.
This is what created at first Highway Hooker Radio , the only show on radio for those who toew, to Dixie Diesel>> all the way to where we are at now HazzardAyre/WyldAyre Radio. Daring to do radio that others wont. This is the goal, be the best and continue outscoring and achieving being the best of the best even excelling beyond the best radio station and build a coast to coast satellite radio network, defending the rights of and educating the ones who don’t know, of our Southern heritage, in a package that they can consume that most can digest, that of the Dukes of Hazzard, that is what I do every day.
How that translates to toewing, next entry.
Taking the weekend off, from duty, recuperating and re-energizing.
