These block letters were mounted over WAKY's showcase studio on 4th Street
and are in the possession of former WAKY PD Mark Strauss who
writes: "I do not know what year they were hung, but they remained until
1987. For the life of me, I do not know why I've carried them around
these past 18 years." Hang on to them Mark! |

Here's an August 11, 2009 update from
Mark Strauss on the above picture: "On photo page 19, you show the old
WAKY call letters I took from the showcase studio. Well, attached is a new
photo of the letters. My wife, Jeri, and I refinished and mounted them
onto a single board. They now hang in Bill Walter’s office located above
the WAKY 103.5 studio. These letters were installed over the new showcase
studios in 1969. So, they're 40 years old!" |

This picture of the WAKY studios was shot
around 1974 by
WKLO DJ Ron Lake who, along with WKLO's Bob Cline and two female
companions (pictured) were on their way to visit WAKY's Chuck Jackson. |

This exterior photo of the WAKY studios was
shot by Bobby Ellis in 1982, a short time before the sign was
updated with the combined WAKY-WVEZ logos. Notice Vine Records to
the left.

Joe Elliott writes: "Alan was our production guy for both WAKY and
WVEZ. I don't think he
ever jocked on WAKY, but he was the voice of Beautiful 790 when the
format was changed.
He's a great guy and still lives in Louisville."
