                <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

              <text>Box 8 Folder 33: "OK, this is a, in folder 33, this is a listing from the spring of 1985, the comparative ratings of JLD, AGG, ATV, and ENN FM. And WJLD was holding its share. Of course, WENN FM had long since run away with the ratings. They were all getting a piece of it. WATV was very very light, very thin. WAGG, its ratings are pretty much the way they are right now. They just haven’t wavered at all. WAGG and WATV were day timers so they went off the air at sundown. But JLD had some really strong ratings in 1985. Jimmy Lawson was morning drive and apparently very popular. Weldon Clark was extremely popular in the evening as a gospel jock. These are hand written, so obviously copied from some Arbitron listing. 1985.  From the WJLD files."</text>
