Title A name given to the resource Correspondence, Mickey Walker to Gary Acker Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 35: "We are at 35, folder 35, are looking at January 7, 1985. This is a copy of a letter to Mr. Acker at Good News Broadcasting Company, parent company of WAYE, from Mickey Walker, apparently staff from WAYE. There was a SESAC request for information, and Mr. Walker was sending Mr. Acker information on their broadcasting because SESAC does what ASCAP and BMI do...take care of copyrights and publishing rights and get people paid. SESAC has a great deal of gospel music that it broadcasts or that it holds publishing for. There’s also an article that apparently came out around WAYE around the same time, 1985. “WAYE Gets Religion. Now one of 8 Christian radio stations here,” a Birmingham News article. It mentions that on October 17, 1985, AM 1220's call letters and format changed from easy listening WTWG to WAYE, so that's a helpful piece of information. Interestingly. station manager Jim Harper mentions at the end of the article that the station is considering Black gospel programming on Sundays...flashback to the 1930's and 40's.

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 little scripts are written on a sheet that bares the address of WAYE; however, the name is WTWG 1220. Did we have an envelope from Fitch? Ok, what we’re coming to realize is that WTWG 1220 morphed into WAYE. Sometime, probably in late '84, early 1985, they changed their name. Why they changed their name is not clear at this time. Of all the stations that frequency, 1220, has gone through the most changes in terms of ownership and name changes. Also going dark for a while in the very early ‘60s for about 4 years. We’re also putting into this folder a W2 from Manuel Fitch for his time at WTWG back in 1984. Now, how long the transition from BUL radio to WTWG, when exactly that happened, we do not know, but that appears to be the transition. BUL ran from something like the early 70's to the mid 80's so we still have to kind of sort that out. Those things need to be deciphered.
