620 WTMT

Radio Trivia: WTMT signed on as 500-watt daytimer in August of 1958, with studios in the IBM Building on Fourth Street. The tower and transmitter was northeast of Jeffersonville. The station's format was originally a mix of big band and show tunes, but it was switched to country music around November of 1958. The call letters stood for With Thought, Maturity and Taste. In 1980 WTMT moved to new facilities at Second and Broadway.

Tim Tolbert writes: "Kenny Holiday was a native of Paoli, IN. He started his radio career at WVAK, Paoli in 1963. He was later hired at WTMT Louisville by Tommy Downs, program director of WTMT. Tommy was also a songwriter, producer and recording artist. Kenny would become Music Director of WTMT and later Program Director. Kenny recorded several singles during this time, all produced by Tommy Downs. Kenny and Tommy would work together one final time in 1973 and record this single. Kenny liked the B side better and changed it to the Plug Side. The song being written by Tom T. Hall didn't hurt. It received lots of air play in Kentuckiana. Kenny Holiday died of heart failure in 1991 at the age of 53." Download a 30 Second Sample of this Record
