The "old" KWHK in Hutchinson

[Rock Chalk]

Was just browsing and noticed the threads from a few years ago concerning 'HK.   Was always sorry to hear that it went under the way it did.   As Lyman James pointed out,  it was a great little station at one time.  In the mid-late 70s we had Tom Pike,  Mike Sanders,  Kenny Woodard, Bob Booth,  Clark Bevan,  Sally Salmon and numerous other jocks who did a great job.  GM Ken Willard rode herd over us and tried to make us behave.  I seldom did and was always getting into trouble for some nonsense on-the-air.   But it was a wonderful time,  with super people,   in a great little city.  I treasure those years.  I left KWHK in '79 and went over to KSKU and worked briefly doing mornings with Steve Bridgewater (The Doctor & Walker.)   In early 1980 I came to Dallas and found a home.  But there's still a soft spot in my heart for Hutch.

That was a good time at 'HK, "The Radio Station Everybody's Coming Home To," as I rebranded it (and stole from an L.A. station. The Doctor & Walker had a good run at KSKU as well. Met up with Bridge in Nashville years ago, but have lost track of him since he's been in the cinema end of things for quite a while. Dallas is a great city, but a little toastier than SF.

HK was a great sounding little radio station.  Sad to think about how much the biz has changed.  I remember the station with a full staff, around the clock.  Local radio, local people, solid programming - and on an AM!
