Ephemera Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT). For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.

Box 8 Folder 36: "Ok. We’re moving on to folder 36. 36 is a handwritten ratings list from the spring Arbitron of 1986, 12+, and this is a WJLD breakdown. And at this point in time Eric White is now doing the morning drive, Oliver Brewer is on the rest of the drive, Margie Davis is midday, Gene Wyze is early afternoons, Howard Bogarty is the drive time going home, Dick Lumpkin is doing late evenings, and, believe it or not, this station actually had Larry King on from midnight to one in the morning. Gary Richardson apparently did not have an air shift, at least on weekdays in 1985, but he was an engineer for the station at that time. It appears that Paul White has retired from WJLD at this point. From the WJLD files."

Ratings, Spring 1985
Description
An account of the resource
Box 8 Folder 33: "OK, this is a, in folder 33, this is a listing from the spring of 1985, the comparative ratings of JLD, AGG, ATV, and ENN FM. And WJLD was holding its share. Of course, WENN FM had long since run away with the ratings. They were all getting a piece of it. WATV was very very light, very thin. WAGG, its ratings are pretty much the way they are right now. They just haven’t wavered at all. WAGG and WATV were day timers so they went off the air at sundown. But JLD had some really strong ratings in 1985. Jimmy Lawson was morning drive and apparently very popular. Weldon Clark was extremely popular in the evening as a gospel jock. These are hand written, so obviously copied from some Arbitron listing. 1985. From the WJLD files."

Box 6 Folder 22: "Ok we’re moving along now to folder 22 which again is a rating book put out by the American Research Bureau which gives all kinds of listings. Where did this come from, I don’t know. It’s kind of interesting, don't remember seeing that before. How about that? OK, again this listing from October of 1972. We copied the pages that showed the survey map, survey area demographics, the local stations, and their power. The entire package is over 60 pages. Probably found in WJLD files."

An account of the resource
Box 6 Folder 18: "Ok, this is folder 18, and what it is is rating sheets, one for May of 1972. Well, they’re both for May of 1972. One for Monday through Sunday and one for Saturday, for 3 to 7 on Saturday. Saturday and Sunday. One’s weekends and one’s Monday through Sunday. Well, I take that back. There are some weekends on some. But what this really is is a view of the station’s broadcasting from the vantage point of the American Research Bureau, which we said earlier was a precursor to Arbitron, as to how these stations were doing in their average ratings with various definitions of rating. WAPI, with the exception of WENN radio, WENN was number 1 simulcasting with FM. WENN-AM was number 1 in 1972 with average persons listening, way more than most. Average persons…. Alright, it was quite a contest. WJLD was right up there too. WSGN was very popular. Yeah, I’m not…. Correction. WENN-AM was not number 1. Looks like number 1 was WYDE, but it depends on what you’re looking at. What rating slot and what time slot as well. Anyway. Rating sheets from 1972 for Birmingham radio for the researcher. From the WJLD files."
