1966 publicity shot of personality Tim Tyler. On the back of the
photo is printed:
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
TIMOTHY L. TYLER is known as "the
man in demand" at WAKY. Making as many as six appearances a week, he
never seems to tire. Whether it's for charity fund raising drives or
heavily promoted stage shows, Timmy is NUMBER ONE. More than that,
he has identified himself with the young people on the go in
Kentuckiana. - He was voted Louisville's number one disc jockey by
Esquire Magazine in a poll conducted in July 1964; he has been voted
number one in numerous high school newspaper surveys and receives
hundreds of fan letters weekly, not to mention demanding requests
for public appearances.
Timmy is also widely known for the
successful stage productions he brings to Louisville (The Beach
Boys, The Four Seasons, Herman's Hermits, The Kingsmen etc. etc.).
And for his unwavering assistance to the Louisville Jaycees and
Chamber of Commerce. - He attended the University of Wichita after
graduating from high school in Naha Okinawa; he is the son of an Air
Force career man and has lived from coast to coast and border to
border. His father, now retired, is a Baptist minister in East St.
Louis.
Entertaining is no task for
Timmy....his magnetic personality draws both young and old...and he
loves it! |

Midnight - 5:30 a.m. DJ Johnny Locke in 1967
"100 lbs. of lightning, enthusiasm and smiles.
Lighting on
Kentuckiana's stock car racing tracks too. He's fun!" |

5:30
- 9:00 a.m. DJ Bill Crisp in 1967
"The 'Crispy Critter' makes your heart scream every morning with
his humor sprinkled cynicism (he's only kidding folks) and his wild
laugh. Then there's Lance Cpl. Leon McDuff with traffic reports from
the WAKY hot air balloon. What a way to start a day. WOW!" |
 |
9
a.m.- Noon DJ Farrell Smith in 1967
"What can you say? He's done everything. From racing in the
LeMans Grand Prix to playing supporting roles in the movies and on
TV. He's an officer in the Army Reserve. A full-blooded Cherokee
Indian, he's a real All-American boy!" |
 |
Noon
- 3 p.m. DJ Jack Holiday in 1967
"His first love is music, so it was a natural for him to wind up
a disc jockey.
He plays guitar and is an excellent song writer. He's young, single
and COOL! |

p.m.- 6 p.m. DJ Steve Baron in 1967
"A multi-faceted WAKY Good Guy. Steve has traveled the world, is
multi-lingual, and a highly educated individual. And he is coolest
when wheeling down the highway on a big cycle. He's fabulous!" |
 |
6
p.m.- 9 p.m. DJ Tim Tyler in 1967
"Timothy L. or T.L.T. as he is known by many of his fans, has
been voted Louisville's number one disc jockey by Esquire Magazine,
and numerous high school polls. Tim's involvement with the youth of
the Kentuckiana area is already a legend. He feels very much at home
behind the wheel of his 1934 completely customized Ford pick-up
truck. Turn on your radio and he'll grab you!" |
 |
9
p.m.- Midnight DJ Weird Beard in 1967
"Yes! The beard is genuine, and he's genuinely weird. Anyone who
die their beard green for St. Patrick's Day is weird. Wouldn't you
say? He's a rebel WITH a cause,
and his cause is complete bedlam
every night. He IS Weird!"
