“Catfish” Tom Kelly, 99.1 WQIK Jacksonville | September 18, 1996
Here’s an almost perfect scope of The Hit Kicker during a late-Summer weekend. The year is 1996, although on the tape provided it says 1994… but your webmaster was doing Country radio in 1996 and played the same currents at KOUL Corpus Christi, so I know better.
