WIXO

WIXO was JD's first New Orleans gig. At 98.5 MHz on the FM dial, it was supposed to be a hybrid of the Top 40 music on WTIX-AM and the album rock on WRNO. It lasted a little over three years. JD was there and played the last songs (The End and Her Majesty from the Beatles’ Abbey Road album) when it went dark in September, 1974. A few months later, it was WYLD-FM.

WQUE

WQUE at 93.3 was "Q-93," and still is. Its format now is urban and often near the top of the New Orleans ratings. In the 70's and 80's, it wasn't quite so urban. Here's what the museum has from that time.

WRPI

WRPI was JD's college station. It started with 1,000 watts of monaural on a 40-foot antenna in 1957. During JD's sophomore year from 1968-1969, he helped rebuild the studios for stereo to feed a new 10,000-watt, 700-foot transmitter-and-antenna combination with a progressive rock format that was ratings-competitive with the commercial stations in the market. Here's what it looked like, then and at its 50th anniversary in 2007.
