For 15 years Johnny Randolph was a household name in Danville, especially in houses inhabited by radio listeners. From 1979 through 1989, he was in a partnership that ran WKLO. From 1989-94, he was managing partner of WHIR. In both jobs, he also served as so-called "on-air talent. " And when he wasn't spinning records and chatting on air at the two stations, he was making a name for himself in the community by serving on numerous boards, like the ones that ran the local United Way and the Boyle County Senior Citizens Center.

Jayme Phillips, the morning deejay on WPBK-FM, could be Lincoln County's answer to Dr. Johnny Fever. But Mr. Phillips doesn't need to borrow any of Dr. Fever's flamboyance.

At times a professional-wrestling promoter, auctioneer, motorcycle-shop operator, city councilman, and candidate for other political offices, Mr. Phillips often serves as master of ceremonies at various civic engagements, such as last spring's Chamber of Commerce Banquet, where a quip he made during the door-prize presentations still resounds in the minds of some.
