The need came simply because a few of the all too self righteous all ready established TV, radio and print news outfits in our area thought we were a bit to much spice to put in their respective stews. So with the birth of what started as the TeenAge Truckers Association, modeled in more than one way after the Independent Truckers Association, and Mike Parkhurst’ Overdrive, we thought , hey the ITA did a magazine, the TTA will do radio. So a buy of rather used and derelict equipment from Lewiston High School, in Lewiston Idaho, and KDSL(KAY-DIESEL) FM 89.1 went on the air as a pirate, radio station. By mid 1979 as the TTA, took to being the Road Commanders Association, and the FCC started sniffing around, tiny KTOW AM 1090 and still 89.1 went on the air legally. The call letters KTOW were sold to a station in Colorado, and now hails as KDOH.
Over the years we pioneered many formats, the first was the only radio show on any station in the nation for us making or trying to make a living driving a tow truck. Taking its title from my own company, Highway Hooker Towing, Highway Hooker Radio went on the air in June 1983. Then came the need for a western states area OTR trucker radio show. By this time Hazzard County and I had become rather familiar and close, so what would WHOGG Boss Hogg’ station run? So in 1989, Dixie Diesel Radio fired from our sister radio station in Blackfoot Idaho, KRVI, now KDXD short for Dixie Diesel, FM 93.3 .
And now we roll into 2009, we had power in Gooding, but with a greedy landlord there and a really screwed up Post Office, there we got booted. But as true confederates we are, we never gave up. It was while living in Buhl, a thought entered my brain as I drained in pure REM sleep, the thing that would bring it all together, HazzardAyre, the combining of AyreWolf Radio and Hazzard County Radio. Be the very none conformist, radical, rebel, fight the system anti establishment radio station. Something that increasingly with Gay rights trampling Christian and other rights,and liberties.
Since 2011 HazzardAyre has made friends and enemies. Traditional media does not like us as a enterprise because we do what they dare not. After all they have their Mormon stockholders, sponsors and such , but under the covers and behind their glass walls they do admire us.
Since 2011, HazzardAyre has received awards, from three Emmy’s , and two Oscars. For innovative and original programming.
Many ask why the bits with women? Simple, Howard Stern has Robin Quivers, the Bob & Tom Show has Christy, and even KEZJ has a gal in with big Kelly in the morning, so we thought okay I want the same thing. What really accelerated this was back a few years doing Dixie Diesel, I caught an early morning run of Don Imus, who had in studio Cheerleaders. Cheering him on , during his show, thought? Have a bunch as the Hazzard County High Cheerleaders.
Over the years its been up hill, no body in traditional media likes us, and severe conservatives despise us, but we deliver the content, and ideals that they are just too timid to tackle. We play more local and unknown artists than any body, from Emma Leigh to Hazzard Life, even local bands like Medicine Man, we play the music, we interview the artists, and we try to get new talent or aspiring talent a chance to learn basic broadcast skills.
Under the Umbrella of Confederate-Steele/HazzardAyre, Highway Hooker, Dixie Diesel Radio, and all still air. With 4 stations here in Idaho, Two in Nevada with a third going in at Wendover, Two stations in Wyoming and 5 in Utah, along with our syndicated programming to all stations willing to buy our programs, you hear the voice of The Knytes-of-Anarchy, and southern culture and preservation.
Have an intern interview at 17:00 so need to prep, and supposedly one coming in at 07:00 Saturday so getting it together here.
So what does it take to get in with the club and be on HazzardAyre? Be a SWF, no kids, able to do the radical, look like Daisy Duke or have the legs of Daisy, Have the grunt and anti establishment mouth of country singer Gretchen Wilson, and have the sweetness of Selena Gomez. Oh and for all you out there asking the question, no we are not racist, I’ll take a hot Mexican gal in here any time, just none have applied.
Until we cruise here again keep it Tween the ditches,
L8R Ya’ll
