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.

It’s a flyer for WJLD. The Satellite Music Network actually. This is what it is. We were the first station back in ’88 and ’89 to play satellite delivered radio in Birmingham, and Satellite Music Network was a product of ABC, American Blues, I mean American Broadcasting Corporation. And their format that we bought in exchange for commercial time, it was really a trade, was called “Heart and Soul.” We played James Brown, Sam Cook, and Marvin Gaye, and B.B. King, and the OJs, and all the popular stuff that our listeners would appreciate. And it was a very very professional DJ staff that delivered that music.

Title A name given to the resource WJLD "The Difference" Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 50: "Ok, we’re up to folder 50. 50 has a business card from WJLD “The Difference.” And that would have been again around 1987-1988. It would have been probably the end of the “The Difference” as a slogan because by 1989 it was morphing into “Heart and Soul.” “The Difference WJLD.” PO Box 19123. Well, interestingly enough, the post office box has changed while the station was known as “The Difference.” The address was changed, the phone numbers remain the same. Also in 50, two bumper stickers. One from WJLD “The Difference,” listing 102 FM Cable, a project that Gary Richardson initiated and actually home wired I think close to a thousand FM receivers giving people the capacity to receive the programming at 1400 AM on 102.1FM. One of his creative moments. Also a very large bumper sticker saying “44 years making the difference” so clearly from 1986. Also, a flyer showing the line-up of 1400 "the difference." Here we see two Richardson innovations: first "the difference" as explained earlier and secondly, WJLD AM's move to Satellite broadcasting via ABC. Cosby, Jones, and Waples are all national jocks we WJLD carried via satellite. I believe WJLD was the first AM station to carry satellite broadcasting in Birmingham.

Title A name given to the resource Maintenance Log, WSMQ Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 48: "Alright, moving right along to folder 48. 10 8x10 sheets, all written in pencil here. Monthly services performed at WSMQ 1450 AM from January through August of 1987. These were electronic maintenance services done by an engineer (unknown). And the listing of the services done by this engineer were written on the back of a WIXI 1480 AM broadcast order, 5000 watts, which would eventually become WLPH out in Irondale, playing predominantly church programming. Broadcast Yearbooks list WIXI as the first calls for 1480 Irondale but with nothing constructed until 1964 at which time the call was WLPH. These service logs are very telling of the technology of the time, written in pencil, in print, not script, on the back of scrap sheets of paper. Who was this engineer that was doing all this work? We have no indication of who the engineer was. There are a couple of pieces of stationary in here with the heading “The Sound Doctor,” Post Office Box 3694, Birmingham, 35211. We don’t know if that is the moniker of a particular engineer but maybe somebody else does. The slogan of the Sound Doctor was “Your sound is your only product." Also, on the back of the July billing, a letter from Robert Casebolt from Schweber Electronics of Huntsville, thanking the Society of Broadcast Engineers for their invite to an SBE monthly meeting.

Title A name given to the resource Clippings, WAYE Advertisements Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 47: "We’re at folder 47. It’s clippings clipped out of some kind of a newsprint journal like the Birmingham Times, Birmingham News, probably the Birmingham Times, advertising WAYE 1220 and also lists the jocks. Theo Bailey, interestingly enough, we were wondering whether that Theo Bailey… that previous folder that contained a mini-contract with the name Theo for commission, and then we follow it up with this, leads me to believe that contract was an AYE contract. In any event, this from 19… we’re saying it’s 1987. What’s also interesting about these clippings that when you flip over the big one on WYDE 85 (850AM) , which was a 50,000 watt station on AM, 50 still is, from 7PM to 5:30 AM at night they played black contemporary gospel, and they included Weldon Clark, Al Bell, and little Walter Anglin. From 7 in the evening all the way until 5:30 in the morning, and Mallard (Brother J) Hicks, whoever that was. So it’s clear that African American disc jockeys were on predominantly white stations as well because they could do the job and they could work and so WYDE obviously played both traditional white southern gospel as well as black gospel. The year of this clip was given away on the WYDE side, bottom center. Also in folder 47 is a small add for WAYE, we project, from 1985, because that year is mentioned in a Sears ad on the back.
