… And now, from Columbus, entertainment capital of the great midwest …
[Description by Uncle Ricky, contributed by John Quincy]
This exhibit from contributor John Quincy originated in the personal collection of the late Herb Oscar Kent of Lexington, KY. The ‘scoping is unpredictable, and everything is edited somewhat. The recording was made of WCOL-FM from approximately 5:22 until 6:18 PM on a weekday in October,1962.
Johnny Hill opens this aircheck, counts down the Music Meter and closes out afternoon drive. We know Hill remained at WCOL for a few years  he was still there in August, 1966. The 6 PM news is reported by John Otting (sp?) and heard five minutes sooner. Then, with great fanfare, it’s time for young Sonny Palmer. No idea how long Palmer stayed there, but we’re hopeful he didn’t choke on that “thing” in his throat.
