The Airstaff Of Tiger Radio

    Banana Jack Murphy   Banana Jack arrived on the Grand Strand in 1989.  He was actually hired by Tom Rogers, who once owned Tiger Radio, WTGR.  Jack handled morning duties on WKZQ 101.7 FM for Grand Strand Broadcasting through 1997.  Hirsch Broadcasting purchased WKZQ in 1997, but Banana Jack remained as morning show host.   In 2000, Hirsch Broadcasting sold WKZQ to Next Media.  Banana Jack remained at WKZQ until 2001, when he replaced Howard Stern at Wave 104.1 (WYAV), also a Next Media station.  Jack remained at Wave 104.1 until 2007.

In 2007, Jack along with his wife, Barb Krumm, formed their own company and purchased WLSC AM 1240 in Loris.  Banana Jack Murphy Productions LLC constructed new studios on Main Street in downtown Loris, SC.  Jack has been hosting the morning show at WLSC since the fall of 2007. 

In addition to a long career in radio, Jack has also gained notoriety as host of the daily television program, River Talk with Jack Murphy.  River Talk currently airs weekdays at 7:30 am on WWMB-CW 21 and 4 times daily on HTC Cable Channel 4.  Jack also occassionally fills in for Greg Rowles on "Not The News" which airs nightly on WFXB-FOX TV.

    Bert and Squirt     What started as a joke at home has turned into a radio feature and occasionally a television appearance for Jack and his son Tristan.  Throughout the day, listeners to Tiger Radio can hear Bert and Squirt.   Tristan is billed as the World's Youngest Disc Jockey by his father, Jack.   The father-son team started performing Bert and Squirt skits with Squirt merely laughing at the punchline.  It didn't take Squirt very long to start delivering the punchline.  Bert and Squirt were the opening act for HTC's Reel Kids banquet which was televised.  The duo has also performed at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach.   They also take part in the Kids Stuff program at Ocean View Baptist Church.

   Jerry "J R" Rowell     This character now hosts the popular show, "The Bargain Barn" weekday mornings from 8 - 10 am.  J.R. has been hanging out at WLSC for more than 27 years.  Jerry actually remembers when WLSC signed on back in 1958.  Gospel music is what Jerry loves and that's what he does.  Rowell, along with Marshall Russell are responsible for all of the religious programming heard on WLSC every Sunday.
