In the late 60’s to early 70’s, WJDX (620) Jackson, Mississippi made the transition from old line MOR to Adult Contemporary, and several programming luminaries sat behind the mikes in the old WLBT-TV location downtown, or the state-of-the-art studios in North Jackson they moved into circa 1973.

Most of the staff you hear on this composite actually left the station in a mass walk-out following the dismissal of programmer Bill Tanner due to a misunderstanding with management. Tanner, of course, went on to bigger and better things as National PD for Heftel (Y-100, 13Q, etc.) at their apex in the ’70’s, and the others made their mark on the industry in various locations and positions.
WJDX had the Johnny Mann acapellas, and applied much of the Top 40 stylings with the AC music mix. Nowadays, though AM 620 is sports and talk, the musically formatted WJDX carries on as an FM station.
