i think they used have same slogan as WBTV channel 3 does now.
And John Boy and Billy also originate in Charlotte and remain in Greenville on Rock 101.1.
From what I understand, and I never particularly cared for JB&B because their show is just SO overproduced. It's like they took the advice of EVERY program manager, ever. "Play the same bits at the same time every morning".. "3 songs in a row, not 2, not 4.. THREE!".. But JB&B are apparently like just taping a months worth of shows in like 3 days now.
The greatest talk shows that I enjoyed was back when WPEK was at 98.1 in the late 90's.
I don't recall the morning show, I believe it changed several times.. But then you had G Gordon Liddy in middays, Don and Mike in the afternoons, Braves baseball in the evenings and Loveline at night.
That was a pretty good lineup.
Liddy is dead.. Don is back on BIG100 in DC.. Mike is doing podcasts.. And Loveline is no more.
Another longtime legacy anchor retiring. He will indeed be missed. In recent years they have lost John Cessarich, Dale Gilbert, Geoff Hart, and now Michael Cogdill. Leaving Carol Clark as one of the last remaining longtime talent. They had a good team for a number of years at WYFF and now it will soon be all new talent.

I remember way back when they had the Don and Mike morning show on the old 105-WAVA. And David Hains was the news commentator like Paul Harvey on steroids. It was "burnt toast and coffee time." That was a great era and a great hit music station. It was "Fun all morning, music all day, on 105-WAVA!"

David, David Haines.
68 fun lovin' degrees, Power 105.. WAVA.
WAVA was my growing up station. Freda as Laura Petrie as well, however, some great DJs there. Even old George McFly... Frank Murphy.. TK Tom Kent, Loo Katz, Sandy Weaver..
That time from about '84 to '91 when they changed formats... One of the best top-40 stations in the country.
With the change in formats and the change in top 40 music.. I then kinda migrated over to WMZQ

Congratulations to Michael on his upcoming retirement.
I wonder if Nigel Robertson, who will celebrate his 20th anniversary with WYFF-TV in December, will succeed Michael as a primary weeknight anchor.

The Big Show has been on the air for quite a while, 35 years, if you want to be specific, but only maybe 30 or less syndicated. I listened to them all the time back in the 90s when they were more involved with Nascar and had drivers on each week. I stopped listening several years ago when they really started playing taped shows over and over and over and over..................
Im sure he will by some, not me. When Carol packs in it, I may go back to watching 4 for the news.

I suspect youre right. Nigel has been shuffled around so much over the years he deserves it.

Yes. He called it more of a transition than retirement. He said he is opening a consulting business and releasing a new children's book soon. I think he is still fairly young. Late 50's or 60 maybe. Good for him- something different.
I would assume Nigel If he wants it. I personally wouldn't want to have to stick around after 11:30 pm. I would prefer to work morning or noon's and early evenings then get the heck outta there at a decent hour lol. I'm guessing Nigel or Patrick Hussion are the most likely candidates for 6 and 11 unless Hearst brings in someone new.
"We're the team" promo from the 80's. Notice WSPA anchors Jane Robelot (now at WYFF), Allen Denton (recently retired from San Diego station) Jack Roper (weather, currently Your Carolina) Stan Olenik (sports) and Pamela Graham (former WSPA anchor). Lots of big hair in the 80's, the old computers and land lines lol.
