Happy Friday! This week’s Radio Ink Blast From The Past comes from Rob Grayson, featuring the jocks of WRBC-AM in Jackson, MS on July 16, 1971 with The Osmonds.
WRBC, which once branded itself as “Rebel Radio,” transitioned to a Top 40 format in 1958. Rob’s brother Walt worked at WRBC for a time, and so did an extremely memorable name – Bob Pittman. The station underwent a rebranding to WKXI in 1978. By 1996, it adopted the call sign WOAD and shifted to a gospel format which still stands today.
Thanks, Rob! We love sharing your broadcast memories at the end of every week – we even share the best in our print edition every month – and we want to see more! Carts, Reel-to-Reel Machines, and Turntables in your pictures are highly encouraged.
