it is a shame when clear channel looks at the budget than at the talent the Joe Elliott posesses it sure is a sad state over there I dont see how Chris Randolph and Mark Stahr continue the clear channel way of running radio is no way to do it . The Federal Communications commission needs to require full time operators on site to end this mess we call broadcasting today

...I'm not sure they're not part of the problem-was it them or was it Congress who actually drafted the deregulation? Either way, they should bare some of the blame for not having the backbone to stand up to WHOEVER came up with the brilliant idea.

Regarding transcription turntables:
One would think that U of L would have them, or that one or more could be found tucked away somewhere within the WHAS TV studios on Chestnut Street.
WAKY had at least two (Gates) in their main production room back in the early to mid '70s (as can be seen in some of the photos) but it's not known what became of them.
I worked with two very crude versions at the Louisville Free Public Library back in the early '70s as well. They were part of the WFPL & WFPK studios and may have been donated by WAVE or WHAS in the early '50s. Not only were they designed to play 16 inch transcriptions, but record them as well, and they did so by playing or recording from the center to the outer edge of the transcription rather than from the outer edge to the center.
It's quite possible that those transcription turntables may have actually came from WAVE as part of the donation they made to the Louisville Free Public Library after giving up on trying to run a successful FM station. WFPK was born as a result of WAVE having donated their FM transmitter (WFPL was already on the air) and other goodies may have been donated as well.
For all I know, that jun... uh... stuff is still tucked away somewhere within the old Carnegie building of the Louisville Free Public Library. Best of Luck.

It's worth noting the cancellation of the nightly "Joe Elliott Show" ends a 48 year old radio program. The weeknight talk show began in 1959 as "Juniper 5-2385" hosted by Milton Metz. The show's name later became "Metz Here". Metz retired in the early 90's, Doug McElvein succeeded him. McElvein's stay was short as he left for KMOX. Joe Elliott then became host.
