Dedicated to playing good music regardless of the genre and providing a good time regardless of the circumstances, the "All Over the Road" program was founded by Mike Flannagan, a writer for the Knoxville News Sentinel, in the early years of WDVX. The program originally aired on Sunday nights and was moved to the midnight to 4 a.m. slot on Sunday mornings in the late 1990s. When Mike died (as the result of longterm heart problems) in June, 2003, his friends Mary Lou Cameron and Wayne Bledsoe were invited to carry on the program. Wayne had been an occasional guest on the show and Mary Lou had gotten her start in radio at Mike's invitation. Mike and the program were immortalized in the title cut of the album "All Over the Road" by California's Mars Arizona.
In recent years, "All Over the Road," has also become a showcase for live-in-the-studio performances. The format is intentionally loose and artists often enjoy the show so much that they stay for the entire four hours
Coming up this Saturday night be sure to catch All Over The Road with host Wayne Bledsoe, beginning at midnight. Wayne's upcoming guests in the studio include:
Feb. 13/14: Katie and the Bass Drums (humor)
Feb. 27/28: Steve Brown & Friends (jazz)
March 6/7: Senryu (eclectic rock act)
March 13/14: Jake Winstrom (formerly or rock band the Tenderhooks)
