Welcome to
WAKYOnline's home page!
Like our dancers? Yeah,
the guy doesn't
still doesn't have it
all together! Anyway, September 8, 2008 we celebrated our
third
birthday,
and we've experienced alot of growing pains in our three years
(including being offline for months at at time!). But getting to
meet the WAKY and WKLO greats and
establishing friendships with them is what has made this all a
rewarding
experience. And many of them
have provided liners and services immeasurable. They, along with the
mentorship of John Quincy have really
made this all possible. And it goes without saying kudos go to the
WAKYOnline support crew who have helped with the professionalism of the
sound and production (now if we can just eliminate ALL the dead-air!).
What you'll find on this page will be not only programming links and
photos, but this site serves as a one-stop for
WAKYOnline
info
.

Just to provide an update, we regret that
WAKYOnline is
offline for the
undetermined future, due to
reasons beyond our control. Along the way, due to financial reasons,
our Live365 account went into limbo, during which time (and for a
totally bizarre reason) a site for 'Teacup Yorkies' bought the domain
'wakyonline.com', so that may explain why some of you may be running
across that. When we are able to go back online, we will still be
WAKYOnline,
but more than likely we will be found at 'wakyonline.org', or
'wakyonline.net', or some other URL. We certainly hope this occurs in
2010, but in the meantime continue to visit
79waky.com
and
1080wklo.com
for all your memories of Kentuckiana radio!!!
A big thanks goes to John Quincy, Cat Michaels,
former CBC E'town GM John Wright, Brian Walker, Kerry Smith, Daniel
Yount (Derrek Daniels) and Mike Wolfe of "The Slam-Zone". And of
course,
recreating the magic has been Johnny Randolph, Jason O'Brien, Dude
Walker,
Gary Burbank, Coyote Calhoun, Tim Tyler, Mike Griffin, Ben Pflederer
(Rudy Ratfink), Mason Lee Dixon,
Steven Lee Cook, Bob Moody, and last but certainly not least, our own
Duke of Louisville, Bill Bailey.

We're glad to be back, albeit
on a smaller scale for the time being, thanks to actions by the
Copyright Royalties Board. We stayed away as long as we could stand it.
Operating two stations can be costly, but we felt our loyal listeners
had done without long enough. Back are the jingles, the music, the
liners and very soon the airchecks will be back. As for our
homepage, you can still feel free
to grab a hard hat and tour the page from time to time!
We can't guarantee everything will work right off the bat, but with a
measure of patience, we'll all watch
this phase of WAKYOnline grow as the station has, into one of
the fastest growing stations on the
internet...
...and for that, we thank you!
