Thirteen years ago, Rome's K-98 FM left the airwaves and transitioned into Northwest Georgia's home of Georgia Public Broadcasting.  Mills Fitzner, who with his wife Cheryl assembled a team of local-first broadcasters and support staff, guided one of the most successful radio stations in Northwest Georgia. Mills joins John Druckenmiller of Hometown Headlines -- who spent a few minutes on air delivering the afternoon's latest headlines to K-98 listeners -- to talk about the station, the personalities and the causes they supported. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app

The Druck Report: Remembering the legendary K-98 with owner Mills Fitzner.

For thousands of Northwest Georgians, their day started with Tom, Robert and Mr. Ed as part of The Breakfast Bunch, an all-local morning show packed with music, news, zingers and the occasional hamster dance as well as Mr. Ed's Challenge. There was the ride home for the evening commute as well as hundreds of remote broadcasts, as many as seven Christmas parades a season, giveaways, the home show, the bridal show and a converted school bus that became the mobile icon of 97.7 FM. When needed, the station answered listeners' needs to quckly relay critical information during the days-long aftermath of the Blizzard of '93 and the tense, solemn hours after Sept. 11, 2001.  K-98 likewise stepped up as Toys for Tots was struggling. Together with the locally based Marines, the station grew the Christmas campaign into a seasonal event with an auction raising thousands of dollars and one that continues to champion local children in need today.   Mills Fitzner, who with his wife Cheryl returned to Rome and the former WROM to grow the legendary station that still brings smiles to past listeners, joined us on The Druck Report to remember K-98. Fitzner sold the station 13 years ago as it became known as WGPB, part of Georgia Public Broadcasting's statewide network. Find out what happened to many of those familiar voices, the behind-the-scenes crew and the depressing -- or is that compressing? -- fate of the K-98 bus.  About this podcast: Mills Fitzner joined us recently at Brand Red Studios in downtown Rome to talk about Northwest Georgia's most-missed radio station, K-98. We thank the Brand Red folks for their production support of our long-form podcasts and Todd La Berge for another excellent job producing this conversation. The Druck Report is a production of Hometown Headlines Inc. Please join us for our weekday newscasts and rants as well.
