WHITE FALCON
Saturday, September 23, 1961
AFRS Beginning
24-Hr. Schedule
A plan long contemplated and desired — around-the-
clock radio broadcast — will be realized Monday by AFRS,
Keflavik Airport, it was announced this week.
“We have known for a long^y
time,” said Journalist First Class
Jim Pynn, “that listeners wanted
24-hour a day programming but
we have been stymied by lack of
trained personnel.”
Pynn, Station Manager of the
Keflavik affiliate of Armed Forc-
es Radio and Television Service,
pointed out that the newly-an-
nounced operation was “slightly
shaky” at present. Sickness or
emergencies, he said, could “shoot
down the program before it gets
well off the ground.”
The situation at the radio sta-
tion is such, he said, that 24-hour
operation is possible only if all
staff members dodge winter’s
wicked wave of colds, laryngitis
and flu bugs.
“But, we think it’s worth tak-
ing the chance in order to bring
listeners in Iceland radio at any
time, day or night. The staff has
unstintingly given of time and
talent, working double shifts in
many instance, in order to make
the change,” Pynn said.
Staff Sergeant Tom Foulks, in
announcing the new schedule, ad-
ded his vote of thanks to the staff
for their hard work in making
the 24-hour broadcast day pos-
sible. Foulks is well known in all
facts of radio and is the long-
time Program Director of the loc-
al AFRS station.
Foulks revealed that he would
be “The Night Owl” and take the
midnight to six shift. The new
programming will feature music
exclusively, with the red-head dee-
jaying. Jim Ameche and Ira Cook
will be guest stars each night,
kicking things off between 1 and
2:30 a.m. At 2:30, “The Night
Owl” takes over.
The announcing staff consists
of Seamen Dean Adkins, Jim Tic-
ehurst and Mike Quinn. Yeoman
Second Class Ron Carignan, a
new addition, joined the AFRS
radio crew this week. The four,
along with Pynn and Foulks, will
carry the brunt of announcing
chores.
