East Tennessee > River Update: an Email from Frank Murphy

When the clock radio sounded this morning, 100.3 The River was still broadcasting, but without Phil Williams, Frank Murphy and David Henley. Someone was there to give the FCC-mandated station indentification, but that was it.

We knew that the crew wouldn't be back immediately, but we hoped they would be back eventually. This afternoon I received this letter from Frank Murphy which doesn't paint a rosy picture:

Les & Melissa,

Thanks for the kind words. I had a great time working at The River. It
ended too soon. Today I'm starting my search for a new on-air job. I would
love to find a job in East Tennessee. My family and I are happy here and
want to stay.

I truly appreciate your support. Thanks for listening.

Sincerely,
Frank Murphy

Frank came to Knoxville from Los Angeles. Once he settled in, his family moved to Knoxville and they bought a house here, so he can't just hop on an airplane and leave. I wish him luck.

Don't Damn the River is another source of breaking news.
