Ray Lincoln


Hi AJ,



I saw your call for information about DJ’s at KAAY. Ray Lincoln was one of the morning hosts at KAAY after Sunny Martin – and I had the pleasure of being “there” when Sunny and later Ray were there. Ray was well known and loved for his personalities and morning shows on KLAZ (FM) and later KAAY and KARN. Ray was “laugh out loud” funny and entertaining. Ray passed from us recently. Here is his funeral notice.



One of the names on the funeral bulletin is John Philpot. John is also well known in Arkansas radio and television, and quite a story teller. John Philpot was also on KAAY, as Farm Director, after Marvin Vine’s passing.

New Blog established for the Archiving of Ar. Broadcast Personalities

Ray Poindexter wrote a book entitled "Arkansas Airwaves" and it traced broadcast personalities from the beginning of radio in Arkansas until the advent of top 40.

This purpose of this blog is to pick up where Ray left off. Ray has passed on but we owe him so much for his career in broadcasting AND his book.

This blog will only succeed with contributions for readers. If you have a story or background on a broadcast personality in Arkansas, please email me at ajlinds@yahoo.com.
