WTUL just switched our playlist logging system from Radioactivity to Spinitron. That shouldn't change much about the way our shows sound, though maybe it'll be better since DJs will have more time on their hands? But most importantly, it's brought a few changes to the website.
DJ Lank is the host of Love, WTUL on Sundays from 12-2 am. A WTUL DJ since 2019, he currently serves as calendar coordinator for the station.
Like many African-American kids in the 1990's, I grew up listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show on the way to school.
The show, which ran for 25 years, was my mom's go-to show whenever she drove me to the friendly confines of Fairview Junior High School. While a third of the music was boring for a 12-year old, it sparked an interest in radio for me.
That same spark also came from Memphis radio legends like Jaye Michael & James Davis on WDIA, which was the first station in the United States to have programing geared towards African-Americans as well Bobby O'Jay and Bev Johnson.
Those were radio legends who laid a path for me to be in the position I'm currently in here at WTUL.
