KKAJ RADIO CHANGES CHAIRS: Radio station KKAJ recently announced two new changes that will affect their weekly playlist during a brief changeover period. Paul "Cannon" Rhodes assumes duties as program director, and "Adequate A!" Hamilton has been named music director. KKAJ Radio is based in Ardmore, Oklahoma and operates on a heavy, medium and light-rotation playlist.

VOICE OF AMERICA music director Judy Massa, who has already contributed extensively to spreading the message of American country music around the world, has come up with a brand new programming initiative. On her weekly program. Country Music USA, she has asked her listeners to send in the one question that they would most like to ask their favorite country artist. During Massa's recent visit in Nashville (for the CMA Awards), she personally asked the questions and recorded the artists' answers. Upon her return to VGA's Washington studios, Massa will air them on her popular show. Massa and VOA state that the new programming addition will be an unique and wonderful opportunity for listeners and country music lovers from China to the USSR to Brazil to England to, at least via the medium (left) of radio, "meet" their favorite artists.
