The Tiger Twins, Tom and Paul Collins, were the 12M – 6AM jocks at WQXI, Atlanta, in the mid ’60’s. I recorded this when I lived on Ponce de Leon near Decatur, Ga. I took an earphone jack from a transistor radio, cut off the end that goes in the ear and and wired it to a phono jack, which I plugged into the input of my Akai reel deck (circa 1961).
Lots of “go-go” jingles on this one, very typical WQXI. I never realized how many timechecks and weather forecasts they gave when they had nothing else to say. In addition to a newscast with stories about the Ku Klux Klan and the Vietnam war, this ‘check also includes the Mayor of Atlanta describing “the big responsibility a radio station owes to the community in which it serves.”
