Coyote Calhoun on 79 WAKY Louisville | January 5, 1979
Courtesy of former WAKY alumn Tom Prestigiacomo, here’s Coyote Calhoun on Wacky!

There is a long history of Country music in New York, although a city grade signal hasn’t truly been available for about 10 years. Sure, there is “My Country 96.1” out on Long Island, and for those far enough south of NYC, there’s WXTU on 92.5 out of Philadelphia. But except for what was known…

This is full of surprise in studio and call in guests as the broadcast community of Western Canada and the Northwest US say farewell.

Despite this being labelled #1, Tom’s first WAKY appearance on this site features him doing a 1960s weekend in 1979. Many fondly remember…
