I like it tool SURPRISE OF THE WEEK; I ’VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL - Buck Owens (Capitol) Atlanta branch, which ships throughout the Southeast is over 30,000. He’s one of the three or four country artists that should be played pop, on a big number. There are dozens of excuses and reasons for not playing records.

Sorry for the error. Jimmy Allan-KOLE-Pt. Arthur, Texas is need of service from Liberty-Dolton. Red Jones tells me the station reaches over a million listeners. Newest correspondent is WSGN-Birmingham, MD, Dave Roddy. Again, let me mention that Dave and his station have created many big ’Southern’ hits and should be on everyone's ’A* list. The major trades ignore this market and usually give Atlanta credit. Same story with Montgomery, which is also serviced by the Atlanta area distributors. Gary Allyn-KONO moves to WCPO-Cincinnati, in afternoon drive time and as MD. Woody Windham-WCOS-Columbia, SC continues to have a problem obtaining new releases. Top rated station in the state’s capitol city. Johnny King departs WDDT for WRBC-Jackson, Mississippi. Bob Campo-WKWK-Wheeling can use artists for Sunday dances. Johnny Long now MD at WQSN-Charleston, SC. Grover Rivers is new MD at V/TUG-Tuscaloosa. At WISE- Asheville, NC: Danny Dyer, 8-mignight and Stan Smith 2-7 P.M.
