Featured Survey / OCTOBER 1975   
 
Throughout the 1960s and '70s, Birmingham, Alabama, was a Top 40 town with WVOK Rockin' their listeners far and wide ... albeit only during daylight hours. The "daytimer" didn't become 24/7 until early 1980s. But their "Tough Twenty" survey was loud and proud with top tunes October 11, 1975, and a dynamite roster of five talented Rock Radio DJs.  Rock On ... 50 Years Ago this Month ...
