Labor Day on the Grin behind us, the Peanut Whistle moves on to the next building phase of a once abandoned career. Starting summer 2011 this blogger was eventually persuaded out of retirement into a struggling diamond-in-the-rough, broadcasting with 50,000 watts—seemingly limitless potential.
Over the years I found myself “town to town, up and down the dial” (thanks WKRP!). Never had a 50 kW found its way on the old resume. Meanwhile, retirement allowed me some time to reflect. It seasoned me. Radio evolved while I languished: some good changes, some not so much.
One change I noticed from circa 1983 until now is that the airwaves have become decidedly geared more toward the female listener. That’s okay, but in the process we men have become underserved. It’s high time for a format dedicated to the American male. As a result, Grin Radio becomes radio for men: Guy’s Radio Internet Network. Classic Rock and Sports/Talk, streaming 24/7 on the Peanut Whistle. One of our first shows is produced by me on its flagship station, WGUN-AM, here in Atlanta: 100 Yards of Football. Not only do we cover my favorite sport, but, as demonstrated in the example below, covers most sports. (just make sure to mute the Grin, above, while you listen to the recording below.) Tune in live Saturdays at 10:00 am Eastern time too.
Oh Yeah!
Stay tuned.
