In this SLOBcast Summer James, Tom Fowler and Rick Wrigley talk about Radio in Myrtle Beach and the grand strand. of South Caroliina.

This SLOBcast is a bit different than the first two. It is a recording made from a television presentation done in June 29, 2003 on WOLO-TV with SLOBs member Dave Aiken speaking with Bobby Lambert who was a pioneering broadcast engineer in South Carolina. Bobby was the engineer in charge of putting the first TV station on the air in the state - WCOS - TV channel 25 in Columbia.

Participants Ralph Jarrells, Rick Wrigley, Dave Aiken and Jerry Dean Pate. Tell some wild but true stories about things that happened in radio and TV back in the 60s.

Hi, friends! Welcome to SLOBscast 0001 – that's Slightly Legendary Old Broadcasters – where we gather the pioneers of South Carolina's airwaves to reminisce about the golden age of radio and television and talk about where we are today.

Each episode, we'll be joined by a new group of these legendary broadcasters. From the technical marvels of early radio to the rise of television, these SLOBs have seen it all.

So, whether you're a history buff, a media junkie, or just curious about what it was like to work in broadcasting back in the day, the SLOBscast has something for you.
