When WGRB was in Camp Bellsville, over in Taylor Co., KY

Rick Caldwell writes:
Back about 1985 when I moved back here in between broadcast engineering jobs out of LA the station was running HSN almost full time. One day I had it on and they welcomed a new affiliate station in Camp (pause) Bellsville. I was wondering where it was. There are several Military Camps but it was not that one which I was familiar with. - RICK CALDWELL
Thanks, Rick Caldwell.Great story. That more than beats my favorite obituary on the just opened radio station here in Columbia, when the the announcer solemnly announced a survivor to be from "Mangolia." Most people around Canmer and Hodgenville call it "Magnolia," I think.


That one competes, for me, with the announcer on the older station, who, after a killer tornado hit Columbia, read the wire on the morning after, "A tornado touched down near Columbia, KY, a small town 100 miles south of Louisville, KY."

We Adair Countians had all wondered where Columbia was located, before that, but it left no doubt how local coverage was handled. -EW
