Do you remember where you were and what you were doing 50 years ago today? The date was April 8, 1966, and it marks the day that WKDZ first went on the air, from inside a concrete block building on Will Jackson Road in Cadiz. Ten original stockholders had the desire and the vision to begin a new era of community service to Cadiz and Trigg County. We have come a long way since Willie Wilson first fired up the transmitter, played a recording of the National Anthem by the Trigg County Band under the direction of William Rutherford, and then kicked off the rest of the broadcast day with a little Nancy Sinatra. Today kicks off a celebration of our history for the rest of the year, and we plan on celebrating in style. The morning began with two of the original WKDZ stockholders, Willie Wilson and Virginia Alexander, and a LIVE video stream of their visit. One thing that has not changed over the 50 years, is the desire and vision to serve our communities. We can only hope the next 50 years will be as much fun as the first 50 have been. Be listening for many special celebrations yet to come as part of our big 5-0!
