Back when I first heard of the station it was WTYR. It was for sale from a broker who sent some information. It seems in the middle 1980s, it was block programmed. Weekdays included 3 hour blocks of The Top 60 Biggest Songs of All Time. They played bluegrass, country, easy listening, adult contemporary (aka oldies) and rock. Judging by the format most all of the Top 60 was played every day.
It seems their commercial package was a number of commercials and a gift the business donated for a drawing the station conducted.
I understood the station was in a 'truck trailer' at the tower site. When I last heard the station price was $50,000 plus the broker wanted $240,000 in commercials spread over 5 years. That sounded crazy to me because it meant somebody was selling what likely would have been my primary accounts at a rate and without the integrity I set.
What I would like to learn is the history of the station. How did the station sound? Did you hear many commercials? Did you work there?
