Savannah Radio
Early 70's

 

Brent Alberts arrived at WSGA in an old Chevrolet, with no job and flat tires. At least that's how I recall the story. Operations manager and longtime WSGA PM driver  Danny Kramer, just back from the navy reserve and feeling generous traded out  some tires and gave Brent a job. 

 

There was a guy named Hugh D who worked middays on WSGA. I don't have any tape of Hugh, but I remember him as a darkly funny guy who sat on a stool in the control room rather than using the chair. I think his real name was Hugh Downer. Wonder where he is today?

When Hugh left Scott McCleod came to Savannah to do middays . Again this is how I remember it, there may have been some folks in between. Scotty was a skinny guy with lots of on-air energy.  This Scott McCleod aircheck  was at the tail end of one of my personal  airchecks. I wouldn't have found it if I hadn't gone through the entire tape.

 

Also in Savannah in the early seventies was our Bob Roberts. Real name Tony Nuzzo who came to WSGA from WJAT in Swainsboro. WJAT was a legendary station among young disk jockeys in this part of the world. The station was located in a building that had housed a theater I believe, I have a less powerful memory that says it was a closed bowling alley.
