WNOX Radio - Wayne Perkey (January 19, 1966)

[@philiprichards2010]

I remember seeing Wayne perked on WHAS TV 11 in Louisville KY back in 1976 and 1977 when I used to live in Louisville.

Wayne Perkey was, and is, such a part of the heartbeat of Louisville. It’s fun to hear him when he was younger. But we’re ever so thankful we got him! WHAS was #1 when he was there, music was played, radio personalities were family. And, as a teacher, I had to hear Wayne read the school closings to know it was true. He still lives here. We still love him.

[@spankynater4242]

Does he still broadcast? I’m not from up there.

[@ApartmentKing66]

I hope Wayne didn't puke nearly as much when he got to WHAS.

Listened later in the 80's to Wayne Perkey on 84 WHAS Louisville back when they still played music.

timothy myers yeah. WHAS used to be a great station when the Bingham family owned it. Live local 24-7 and a full service AM blowtorch

[@Ungadewey]

@@ChadQuick270W WHAS use to be set on my radio constantly when I was a teenager living in Western North Carolina. This was back in the Joe Donovan overnight oldies era.

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

When I was a kid in Pennsylvania, that's one of the stations You could get at night. (WHAS) Listening to those 50k watt stations skipping was a pastime of mine in the 70s.

[@spankynater4242]

I wonder how many of those products are still around.

The Nancy Wilson song came from a movie whose soundtrack produced a better known hit...Frank Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night"

[@spankynater4242]

I wonder where the practice of disc jockeys talking like that got started.

$.99 for a pound of shrimp.
