"It looks like a studio. It is a studio. It was a mobile home. It's WHEL's answer to staying on the air after the New Albany station's studio was destroyed by a fire earlier this year. Getting ready to spin a record is disc jockey Jay Caress while News Director Julian Mouton checks copy for the next newscast." (Louisville magazine Broadcasting issue, September 10, 1967)

'Talknet' Missing
By Tom Dorsey - The Courier-Journal - March 8, 1990

WOBS 1570-AM has dropped "Talknet," Larry King and other programming such as its Saturday gardening show. The station is being sold to Brightness Ministries Inc. of Jeffersonville, which wants to air an all-Christian format.

Meanwhile, WLSY 680-AM still plans to pick up "Talknet," but not King, when it receives federal approval to go on the air. That approval is expected soon.

Station Change
By Tom Dorsey - The Courier-Journal - August 29, 1990

WLSY (FM-101.7) is "redefining" itself and in the process has cut three staff members and several programs from the schedule.

Gone are Jerry Tucker and Kris Bradley and newscaster Debra Kay Henderson in what Roy Wikoff, the new station manager, says was an economy move. Missing from the program lineup is the station's New Age and new wave music, which Wikoff says didn't fit the rest of WLSY's image.

"We're now the only easy-listening station in town, no matter what some others may claim," he says.

The changes also include a "completely computerized operation," which Wikoff says will allow the live personalities to use their time more creatively than punching cartridge machines.

WLSY is still waiting for Federal Communications Commission clearance to get its AM sister station on the air. There have been 18 months of delays cause by engineering debacles. Wikoff can't name a date, but he says the AM station will carry NBC's TalkNet programs when it gets the go-ahead.

When WLSY-AM gets going, it will cast a wide Talk-Net
By Tom Dorsey - The Courier-Journal - January 9, 1991

Talk-Net fans take hope, you may yet get your overnight radio program back.

WLSY FM-101, which has been struggling for two years to get an AM sister station on the air, says it is on the verge of throwing the switch that could bring network talk radio back to Louisville on a nightly basis before February.

It all depends on few last-minute legal matters and some final construction details. The station debut at 680-AM could be held up if the weather is very cold and the ground is frozen, says Roy Wikoff, WLSY general manager.

He's reluctant to set the exact premiere date because previous station management failed to meet so many tentative starting dates for a variety of real-estate, legal and engineering reasons since 1989 that the situation began to sound like the little boy who cried wolf.

If the station does sign on in a few weeks, it will have a ready-made and eager audience that has been waiting for some outlet to pick up Talk-Net radio since it was dropped by a succession of stations over the past few years.

Talk-Net hasn't been heard in this area for about a year. It features financial- and personal-advice programs that had a loyal following.

When WLSY-AM gets on the air, Wikoff says its will simulcast the easy-listening music of its FM sister outlet from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. From 5 to 7 p.m., WLSY-AM will air a live, two-hour show with Jim Bond, the new program director. Talk-Net would take over from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day.

February 4, 1991 update: WLSY 680-AM is on hold again. The new station, which was scheduled to begin broadcasting Friday carrying NBC's "TalkNet," is being held up a few days by a last-minute legal detail, according to Roy Wikoff, general manager.
