… Are you a hippie? Not hardly. Why? I’m bald …
From Programmer’s Digest (Vol. 1, Issue 8, 11/20/72), this 1972 composite of WAYS, Charlotte, demonstrates the influence of actor Jay Thomas on the properties owned by Sis and Stan Kaplan in 1972. Not only did Thomas have a solid success at WAPE, but he resurrected WAYS from near death after a severe thrashing by Tom McMurray’s WBT.
In addition to Thomas, this composite features John Lodge, Jimmy Madison, Mitch Braswell and Beau Matthews, and the syndicated version of The Last Contest. Great talent, solid performance, good facilities, full support of the owner and it was all connected with the right people at the right time.
