Buddy Carr, Harley Drew, WBBQ Augusta GA. November 11, 1970 (1:01:28)
… Number One since who knows when …
Handsome Harley Drew, for years the Program Director of WBBQ Augusta, Georgia, is featured here with Buddy Carr in this hour taped directly from the
transmitter feed on November 18, 1970.
In this aircheck, the Famous 1340 is simulcasting with its FM
sister, but WBBQ was one of those “Class IV” (1KW day, 250 watts night) Top 40’s that dominated smaller and medium markets in the 60’s and into the 70’s. You’ll note that
Harley did quadruple duty as Program Director, PM drive host, PM newscaster and is
heard on most of the station’s production!
You’ll also hear a few cuts from PAMS Series 40, the wonderful old Mutual Network news intro, and the complete details of a traffic accident caused by a “soft drink truck with no brakes” during ON THE SCENE NEWS (sponsored by a place that sells guns). Isn’t it nice to hear the Robert Hall Christmas jingle again? And check
the pronounciation of “Datsun”! (Sounds like home to a south’ner
