WRKA's Gary Clark
shot this picture on March 30, 2005. He writes: "Here is a picture
of the old WKLO/WKJJ/WDJX studio as it looks today. The floor is
now gone and when you look in the window, you are looking down at
a conference room. After WDJX moved from those studios in 1989,
the building remained empty for many years. When Stoner
Broadcasting purchased the radio station from Great Trails
Broadcasting in 1988, they did not buy the building which was
still owned by Great Trails. That building stayed on the market
for many years until bought by Bandy Carroll Hellige Advertising.
I also worked in that studio when it was WDJX. I was doing 10 p.m.
till 2 a.m. under the air name Greg Scott. In 1989 WDJX
moved to 612 Fourth Avenue in what is now the WRKA/WVEZ showcase
studios. In 1999 WDJX moved down the street in studios next to the
Seelbach Hotel. The old WDJX studio at 612 Fourth was gutted and
now two showcase studios occupy the space." |

Where WKLO used to
live -- Tim England took this pic on December 26, 2009.
He writes: "I did a drive-by in Louisville today to show Carie where
I landed a job almost 33 years ago. The storefront is still there,
and I can still imagine us spinning the vinyl at 307 W. Muhammad Ali
Blvd." Rip Rinehart responds: "The storefront is there, but the
floor is not! If you look in the window you'll be looking down into
some sort of conference room in the basement with a very high
ceiling." |
