⛳️ Bipartisan Charity Golf Match ⛳️ Yarmuth & Meiners prevail as $15,000 goes to charities
⛳️ The Bipartisan Charity Golf Match at Valhalla generated $15,000, split evenly between the WHAS Crusade for Children and Louisville's West End School. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul and Representative John Yarmuth for illustrating that those with nearly polar opposite political views can work together for charity. Businessman/philanthropist Junior Bridgeman leveled the donations so that each charity picked up $7,500. Congratulations to Team Yarmuth/Meiners for closing out the match on #16 with a Yarmuth birdie. 🏆 Peace is possible! 💯 #BipartisanCharityGolf FINAL ⛳️ After a @RepJohnYarmuth birdie on 16, Team Yarmuth/Meiners closes out Team Paul/Bridgeman ⛳️‼️ $7,500 to @CrusadeChildren $2,500 to West End School@RepJohnYarmuth @RandPaul @840WHAS @WHAS11 pic.twitter.com/HaECQL4FKb — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) July 23, 2021 #Kentucky #charities #Republican #Democrat #bipartisanship If you asked the average person, would a Republican and
How much do y’all radio deejays make? Ain’t y’all loaded?
"You deejays make all that BIG MONEY!" Well...some do, some don't. It's all about the deal that's struck with management. Deejays who are connected to revenue streams typically pull better salaries. I've done at least 7 critical negotiations with management at WLRS-FM, then WQMF-FM, and then a series of revolving deals with the various managers of WHAS Radio and television over the past 45 years. WHAS Radio news anchors recently discovered a treasure trove of station documents, including this 1943 contract for staff announcer and "specialty man" services. There were also rates for singers, musicians, actors, and sound effects specialists. Here is a 1976 proposal from WKQQ/Lexington program director Dick Hungate to his manager requesting to unplug the automation and switch to live
WHAS will crack triple digits next summer when Kentucky’s first commercial radio station turns 100
It's still a year away but WHAS Radio will turn 100 on July 18, 2022. WHAS was Kentucky's first licensed radio station. What a wild trip it's been! 🎧 current WHAS audio: morning show, mid-morning, afternoons 🎧 historical audio Here's what WHAS-TV dug up in its video vault to note the radio station's 95th birthday in 2017. The Courier-Journal and Louisville Times Company obtained the broadcast license in 1922 and built a studio near the newspaper facility. This fall, current WHAS Radio owner iHeart Media will move the studio operations from Bishop Lane in the Newburg area back to downtown. WHAS has enjoyed a fantastic array of broadcast talent over the past century. The station has won prestigious awards for news coverage, emergency operations

The cicadas are woke! They fit in nicely making lots of noise about nothing.
The Brood X cicadas are popping out on their 17 year hibernation cycle, infesting parts of the eastern United States for the next few weeks. They're needlessly loud, garish, and incredibly horny. That's pretty much the gig. Make a quick pass through the ladies and find a breeding mate. Get the job done. Then die. Not much different than the cast of Jersey Shore. Where are those horndogs now? Either forgotten or dead. Cicadas are 10 times smarter than the Jersey Shore parasites. The video above from WHAS11's Shay McAlister takes us on a journey through 1970, 1987, and 2004 cyclical appearances of billions of cicadas. The late Fred Wiche, the leading voice in The Vault video above, was a news reporter and anchor for

Will drivers have to pay-per-mile for using roads? Sen. Mitch McConnell on infrastructure, the booming Biden economy, MLB shiftiness, the Manchin trump card, more
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell joined me on WHAS Radio for a wide ranging conversation about the Biden Administration's stimulus packages, infrastructure proposals, COVID vaccine access, moving the MLB all-star game over woke politics, and the senate seesaw of having moderate Democrat Joe Manchin voting often with Republicans. .@terrymeiners says @LeaderMcConnell might consider himself still majority leader given how much @Sen_JoeManchin sides with the #GOP. McConnell says he appreciates Machin’s open-mindedness, saying @JoeBiden is leading an “audacious” left-wing administration. #KYSen #Biden — Philmonger (@phillipmbailey) April 6, 2021 Only once did the Senate Minority Leader cut me off while blurting "LET ME FINISH!" That's a new over/under record! Wide ranging interview with @LeaderMcConnell on whether @JoeBiden has ghosted him, if McConnell is still majority leader b/c
