[IRCA] KSL-1160 or KOA-850, anyone?

[midcapemarc@xxxxxxxxxxx (Marc DeLorenzo)]

I have to agree with Bob on this.  Alot of the "local flavor" of radio is gone.  As a teenager in the 60's I loved getting stations from the South - not only for the local  news and ads but also just to listen to the Southern drawl.  One that stands out in my memory was WHHL-1440 Holly Hill, SC.  I heard this station in 1966 and had no tape recorder but I can still here the ID, spoken VERY slowly.  "Dub-yuh... Aich... Aich... Ai-ul - Hollih  Hee-ul, South Care-lahna."

Now, after living in Georgia for 3-1/2 years, I know that the Southern accent is alive and well.  However, it is rarely heard on radio or TV and I am saddened by that.
