105.1 WLRS "Everything that Rocks!"

[rjc]

Was a huge fan of LRS 102 from 1986 until that goofy Mix 102 garbage. Was not a fan of the most recent incarnation of the station on 105.1, but now they are doing the "Everything that rocks" format, and I'm lovin' it. ;D Now as I was listening this morning, it seems that Rocky Knight is going to be the morning man on WLRS.

Anyone else listened to the format on 105.1? If so what do think of it? Personally, I love a station that can play Deep Purple and then Weezer, doesn't seem like a station today could get away that, but they seem to be doing it.

Hi. I worked for WLRS back in 1967--1969.

I have recently posted some old pics from that time with WLRS. They have posted them on their web page at the "Locals Only"- "Old School" tabs.

WLRS, as you might know, got its start as the assocaited radio operation of the Louisville Radio School, from whence came the call letters.

The school and the station, as well as WXVW in Jeffersonville, and WORX in Madison were all owned and operated by a wonderful man named Clarence Henson.....ever heard of him?

I worked both at WLRS as well as WXVW, as a DJ and the FCC 1st Class license-holder.
