Hello Again....

Hi, I haven't posted in a while and just wanted to say all is well at Classic Hits 94.1. I did have today (the day after Thanksgiving) off from work and I did a little shopping. I called in for a break with my buddy Steve Conley. Like I told him, I'm not sure how much folks were buying, but at least there sure were alot looking. Quite the shopping day for sure. Every store I went to was jammed and the stores were ready for the crowds. And just for the record, I did my part for the economy and shopped plenty!!! Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's really time get serious with the shopping.

All my neighbors have their lights up. Not the Perrin family yet. Soon though....in a day or two I guess. :)

Karen Perrin Memphis radio, FM 100 to Classic Hits 94.1 KQK

Well, here I continue to write on my old blog as we wait patiently for the new WKQK Classic Hits website to hit the internet. Kind of frustrating that they made all the on air changes so quickly but can't seem to get the website up, but alas that is sometimes the way things go. :)

As I write this, it is election day. I did not early vote. I went at lunch today. I heard all kinds of horror stories about how long the lines might be.
I waited 8 minutes.
No, that is not a typo....eight.....8......one more than 7 but less than 9....yes, 8 minutes!! True, if my name started with an A-D, my wait would have been longer...but not for me Karen Perrin.....it was good to have a last name with "P" today. Who did I vote for....none of your d*%# business, but I voted. :)

So, back to work talk...... Steve Conley and I have been reunited for some time now on my new station, Classic Hits 94.1. (I'd love to hear from you and know what you think. you can email me at karen@941kqk.com and you can listen on line at www.941kqk.com .....full website to launch soon!!! ) People seem to love the music...no matter if they are in their 20's all the way up to 60's and beyond. It's fun, upbeat music that reminds me of what we played on those Whatever Weekends we did at FM 100 for years.

Anyway, I enjoy working with Steve, but I sure miss Ron and Brett too. I know they are doing fine, I just don't see them for 5-6 hours a day like I did for years. Now I just look at Steve's mug across the table. :) He looks just the same as he did two years ago before he "left" FM 100.

Go vote if you haven't yet and you read this on election day.

Karen
