Jim Collins WXLE

"I'm Jim Collins. I had the task of replacing 'The Tree' at WXLE. I was there 72-73 when Dave White was station manager.

I brought country western music to Canton Island!

I don't know how they did it, but American Airlines Flight 1 would call down requests for us to play as they flew over on their flights between Pago Pago and Hawaii.

I just found your site. Thank you!"

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
