WGTK (AM)
WGTK 970 AM is a Talk radio formatted station in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area. It is owned by Salem Media Group and similar to many Salem talk stations, it calls itself "970 AM The Answer." It was once WAVE-AM, the sister station of WAVE 3 television, and later, WLKY Channel 32's sister operation.
On weekdays, WGTK runs the entire line up of Salem syndicated talk shows: Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt and Steve Deace. WGTK had aired a local midday show with former WHAS host Joe Elliott but that was discontinued in the Fall of 2015. WGTK is the radio home of Bellarmine University men's basketball.
In the 1990s, the call letters WGTK belonged to a now defunct Classic rock station in Middlebury, Vermont. When Salem acquired an FM station in the Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina radio market, it used the same call letters, with that station known as WGTK-FM since February of 2013.
History
This station began as WFIW in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. In 1932, WFIW was bought by George Norton Jr., and its transmitter was moved to Louisville, with the call letters being changed to WAVE-AM.
Banana Man
He might just look a little bit kooky
But he thinks that's okay
he needs a job to pay off his mortgage and his chevrolet
If tricks you want then he ain't your person
All he does is stand
Except the time when he is running from the policeman
Ah... Ah... Ah... yeah
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
It might surprise you he went to college
And got his degree
It's hard to find a job with a major in plant psychology
His identity he tries to keep secret
But not because he's great
Cause the girls will just keep on laughing
And he'll never get a date
Ah... Ah... Ah... Yeah!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
