Mid Carolina Radio
a website for broadcasters
Mid Carolina Radio is designed to be a history of Alamance and Rockingham County radio stations of the past, told in text, audio and pictures. It’s the story of those stations and the people who worked there, especially when all of the stations were locally owned and operated.
The website will be a work in progress, and will be made better by your pictures, audio cuts, stories and input. Your help is also needed to make sure the information contained is historically accurate. New material will be added the first of every month.
Please use the Contact Page so I can give you the email address where you can send your material, as well as any suggestions, questions or corrections you may have.
Welcome…and enjoy…MidCarolinaRadio!
On March 30th, six of us who worked at WCBX between 1970 and 1973 got together for a mini-reunion. Some of us had not seen each other in nearly 40 years! Those present were Bea Childers, Frank Dwyer, Claudia Hundley, Cj (Doc) Holliday, Joe Zanetti and Bob Crews. Four pages of pictures begin at WCBX Reunion.
Mike Jackson sent us some vintage WBAG air checks. Here's one of Paul Allen from 1979. Listen for a tribute to Elvis near the end.
Chip Chase borrowed a bit from Jeff Davis at WLS Chicago in this 1979 air check. Mike also included Jeff's original version.
And another quick one shows Chip's dismay at being pre-empted one night. He received an interesting phone call. Give Mike an assist on it.
Everyone who worked at WBAG in the late 70s remembers this
legal id recorded by UNC-G's William Allsbaugh.
The long-lost WBAG caricatures have surfaced! Gailes Stuckey located them in a newspaper ad for WBAG-AM from 1984.
