[BC] Jackson, MS radio

[Bill Brister]

I remember that he really woke WJDX up. I was in TV there at the time and
was not familiar with the a lot internal workings and staff at the radio
stations but I remember WJDX was very staid prior to Tanner's coming and he
pepped things up considerably adding personality radio and a real upbeat
sound. I listened to WJDX for the entire time I was there 1970-1973. I don't
know if WJDX went back to sleep after his departure or not.

I had worked for WKOR in Starkville, MS in 1969, and he was 
the guy who programmed WKOR during that first summer it was 
on-the-air.  I thought it was cool that we were both in 
Jackson, MS in 1970, working across town from each other, and 
both of us cut our teeth on WKOR.
