The year was 1985. Don Mattingly won the AL MVP Award in November. Steve Cram ran a world record mile in July. And "Moonlighting" starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd makes its debut on ABC in March.
In 1985, radio in Nashville had many choices. You could listen to country music on WSM-FM or WSIX-FM. You could listen to hit music on WYHY-FM or WWKX. You could even listen to your your favorite rock songs on WKDF. There is one radio station in Nashville that featured interesting personalities and your favorite songs. That station was WLAC-FM, Nashville's Class FM.
During November 1985, a few members of the WLAC-FM airstaff consisted of the following:
- Stephen Wesley Bridgewater and Ogden the Butler
- U-Turn Laverne (traffic)
- Melissa McDonald (news)
- Bryan Sargent
- Pat Reilly
- Dick Kaiser
Here is a composite aircheck of a WLAC-FM broadcast day from November 1985.
