I heard 1340 "La Raza!" on my way through Knoxville. My spanish is a bit sketchy, but it sounds like a fun, upbeat little station. Loved the music...It certainly had my attention a lot more than the uniblab crap on WNOX.

chimpanzee, Jay Thomas left Big WAYS/95Q for Chicago, I think maybe Q101, before moving to LA. 

You're thinking of Bob Murphy.

Correct.  Bob Murphy left WAYS/Charlotte for Q101(WKQX)/Chicago.  Murphy In The Morning replaced Jay Thomas, who left for 99X (WXLO)/New York around 1977.  IIRC, immediately prior to taking over as PD and morning host at WAYS, Thomas was on nights at the Kaplan's station WAPE/Jacksonville.

And when I went to check this, I got in the middle of a big controversy on Wikipedia. These are fun.
