WALG
WALG (1590 AM, "News/Talk 1590") is a radio station serving Albany, Georgia, and surrounding cities with a news/talk format. This station is under ownership of Rick Lambert and Bob Spencer, through licensee First Media Services, LLC. Its studios are on Broad Avenue just west of downtown Albany, and the transmitter is located north of Albany.
As of July 2014[update], weekday syndicated programming included shows by John Batchelor, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Michael Savage plus Red Eye Radio and America's Morning News. Weekend programming included the syndicated The Kim Komando Show hosted by Kim Komando, Smoke This! hosted by Cigar Dave, and Sporting News Radio, and talk shows hosted by Clark Howard, Larry Kudlow, and Gary Sullivan.
Local programming included news and interview program "Wake Up Albany" hosted by Matt Patrick from June 2007 until February 2009.
On-air disc-jockeys included Brother Dave Miller, Bill Young, Steve Preston, Ron Mani, Lil' Country Joe, Ranger Rick Stewart a.k.a. Ricky Horror, Ken Ayers, Tim Rainey, Lisa Lee, and Skip Eliot.
WALG is a former Albany dominant station for Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 in the 1980s.
This station was launched as WALB in May 1941 by The Albany Herald. In 1954, the Herald signed on a TV station with the callsign WALB-TV. The AM radio station has been assigned the "WALG" call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since it was sold by the Herald to Allen Woodall, Sr., in 1960.
From 1959 till about 1970, the station was known as "Johnny Reb Radio". The rock and roll station was a reporting station for the Gavin Report during those years and therefore had much influence in the southeast U.S.
The studios were located in an area north of the city of Albany near a swamp. The area surrounding the station was low country and covered with water most of the time. A raised walkway led from the small parking lot to the studio. Many deejays were delayed in their air shifts because a fat cottonmouth snake would be sunning themselves on the walkway.
