Talid Magdy, a transplant from Los Angeles, is a music nut who would go anywhere and do anything for a good performance. Meanwhile, he works as an online producer for knoxnews.com.
The WDVX "Blue Plate Special" program began in 1997 the same year WDVX started broadcasting as a community public radio station from a 14-foot camper studio in Norris, Tenn. The noontime show from the camper included themed shows or occasional live performances from visiting artists.
In late summer of 2004 WDVX brought back the rich tradition of downtown Knoxville mid-day live radio shows by producing the Blue Plate Special in front of a live studio audience from our new home in the Knoxville Visitors Center at 301 South Gay Street. The WDVX Blue Plate Special is now a signature downtown Knoxville and East Tennessee happening and was recognized as the 2006 Knoxville Area Museum/Attraction of the Year in 2006.
We will be highlighting one show a week from the Blue Plate Special. If you have any questions or comments, please contact online producer Talid Magdy.
