1986: Jackson, Mississippi had GREAT radio.

WJMI (JMI 100): the station had LOTS of electro and freestyle in the '80s

WQMV (Q99): went country in November, 1986

WSTZ (Z106): flipped to (some type of) rock in January, 1987

WTYX (94TYX): became an oldies station in March or April, 1990

This has become the highlight of my week. Reliving classic radio, and remembering the way things were, plus your attention to details are appreciated. Having gone through a lot of health issues over the last year, this is one of those distractions I eagerly look forward to. I got some great ideas for my shows on LP FM stations.
