This particular broadcast is his Sunday Night broadcast from August 26, 2001, from the old WDEH FM, (Now WLOD FM,) of Sweetwater, TN. His night-time broadcasts were done live from the studios of the station, from 10:00 P.M, to 11:00 P.M. He also had a Sunday Afternoon broadcast on WDEH AM, Sweetwater, TN, that I believe was on from 3:30 to 4:00 P.M., also live from the station. "Hoss" was an inimitable individual, who will be missed by we who loved him & what he preached.
