WFOM



WOM-AM was the station in Marietta people listened to. 

 In the afternoons it played rock and roll and in the evenings rock and roll with phone requests, which teenagers were notorious calling in with phony requests, like mocking someone who had a crush on someone, etc.  

Also in the evening my assistant Little League coach Pepper Martin had  The Diner Light Music hour. 

A kid that lived close to me with the last name Crow got a job with the station and ended up being a top executive there.  He was a couple years older than me and was very snobbish I think he always looked straight through me when I spoke to him.

 It was a station that catered to whites, no rhythm and blues music.  They left the black market up to WAOK in Atlanta.
