]]> A jock destined for greatness in the radio biz, Dave Diamond hosts a bit of nostalgia on little WKGN Knoxville. Dave’s counting down the Silver Dollar Survey. Man this is OLD. Listen to the old Roy Ross jingles!

This is so far away from how radio sounds today… I’d dare say nobody under the age of 40 can possibly relate. Teachers, here’s a thought. Perhaps you could take a portion of your history or current events class and play this or other airchecks from this era, to remind the kids that while they enjoy their favorite hip hop station, THIS is ultimately what it was derived from… this and the relative few stations like it.

]]> Listening to this certainly brings back memories – not of WNOX, but of the days of AM radio in the Summertime. This aircheck will either bring back the sound and smell of an approaching Summer storm (hence the lightning static crashes on the aircheck), or it’ll remind you why you decided to listen to FM.

Derrick Anderson himself contributed this aircheck, for which we’re grateful. We’ve gotten many favorable comments about this since it posted in the Summer of ‘02. Your webmaster learned, WNOX actually had a great signal along the southern Appalacians, Kentucky and even southern Ohio. Now, listen to it again as we restore WNOX to the Airchexx Archives!
