In the mid 70's WKGN 1340 (on Alcoa Highway) was a breeding ground for young talent...I particularly recall the career origins of Mike Beck, Kerry Lambert and Rusty Brown. PS- all three are from the West High School class of '75!
Rusty took the on air name Tollie Michaels before switching to Russ Brown, he also switched to WNOX The Famous 99~
