Again, this would be in the mid 70's. Ron talks about this period. He shared that on the FM, Johnston changed WJLN's call letters to WZZK around 1973. Ron shared that both WJLD and WZZK were automated. He shared that Johnston hired Duke Rumore from WSGN and Country Boy Eddie, who became well known for his morning TV show, to broadcast on ZZK. Duke left (or died) and Patty and the Doc arrived. January shared that Dave Davis managed both the AM and FM, but wanted to buy WZZK from Johnston but Johnston would not sell.

We project both to be around 1978. Shelley Pope was known as the Black Pope and was a very colorful figure in the ‘70s. Ron January and I attended his funeral in the 90's and remembered how Dave Sea from the Temptations Review sang. He was great. Paul had left WATV for WJLD in 1977 and then Pope, who had been at WBUL, came along. Johnston had the idea to build a power house station that could take on WENN AM/FM. Ron reports the line-up was Paul, Ron, Pope, Paul, Pope and finally McKinstry at 8 P and then automation. Pope was a screamer and January remembers Pope breaking VU meters on the board. Competition between Pope and Paul was such that Pope had a studio built in his home so he did not have to be in the station with Paul. Paul had received a Continental and Pope received a Thunderbird as inducements to switch to WJLD. Pope had his name - "Pope" - painted on the side.
