Chad and Jaclyn are in Memphis where lots of stars and radio people So, last night -- at almost bedtime (early for me) I got a text from Jaclyn says, "Guess who we're with?". Oh, no -- can it be???

Jaclyn and I are PUMPED UP about our brand new PARTY OF FIVE lunch contest.  Every week through March 31st, we are going to be taking listeners to lunch at The Miller House in downtown Owensboro!  If you are lucky winner, you'll get to choose two friends and we'll set up a lunch date for our PARTY OF FIVE!   Wanna know how to win???

We are VERY excited about The Big BKR Smackdown coming your way Friday here on WBKR.  So, to get ready for the big countdown, Jaclyn, Dave Spencer and I decided that we should come up with our own Top Ten lists.  So, here goes.  My Top Ten Country Songs of 2011 . . . and, for good measure, I tacked on what I consider to be the 5 Worst Country Songs of the Year too!

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.  And you THINK you know the precious daughter of WBKR midday gal, Jaclyn Graves.  But, since Christmas, I have seen seemingly "innocent" Christmas photos surface on Facebook and the web and I just cannot, in good conscience, sit in silence and pretend this child's Christmas was merry.  If you peer beyond

  Photos by Dave Spencer I was watching a broadcast on one of the 24 hour news channels and the anchor was reporting about a woman who'd been missing for many years. And they put up a graphic showing what she'd look like today. They obviously had used some aging software for their purposes. I thought that was really cool and decided to Google "how will I look old." I came up with an aw

Chad - in twenty years - has not been able to find a baseball cap that fits his massive head. A few weeks ago, after ordering a pizza online, he saw a pop up coupon for bread sticks and a 2-litre.

This is awesome!  Our buddy Mike Spurgeon, with Henderson Chevrolet Buick GMC, came to us earlier this year and told us the dealership really wanted to be a big part of Christmas Wish this year.  Not only has Henderson Chevy set up a Christmas Wish tree in their showroom (complete with 50 families up for adoption), they have also given us some amazing electronics for a "blind" auction in

WBKR's little buddy, Jimmy Parrot, has gone big time!  Saturday, at the Hawesville Christmas Parade, Jimmy served as Grand Marshal, alongside his WBKR Waking Crew buddies, Moose and Tad!   I had a hunch I should bring along the trusty video camera and I did.  Check out these video highlights.  They are a riot!

When I got to work this morning, I went straight into a production room to do a few things so I did not see this newspaper article and accompanying photo from the Messenger-Inquirer that had been taped to the door of the WBKR studio. So I had no idea what he was talking about when, in a meeting in the conference room, he shouted, "That picture makes me look BALD...

The 35th annual WBKR/WOMI Telecom Pioneers Christmas Wish office is up and running at Towne Square Mall.  We are expecting a very busy year and we are already off to crazy start!  At the end of Day Two, we had received just under 400 letters and they continue to pour into the office.  We have lots of calls about how you can submit a letter to Christmas Wish, how to make donations, how to volunteer

If you tune into The WBKR Waking Crew each weekday morning, you know exactly who Jimmy Parrot is!  He's the guy that calls 'Moose' and 'Tad' at 7:25am each day and pretends to be 14 WFIE news anchor Ann Komis, or a Charlie's Angel, or Wayne Hart...

Buffalo Wild Wings' Owensboro location is BIGGER and BETTER!!  As you likely know, the Towne Square North restaurant has been closed for a huge remodel and expansion.  And, last night, I had the chance to get a sneak peak inside.  Don't worry . . . I had my video recorder in hand and rolled tape!  Wanna see the new and improved Buffalo Wild Wings??
