Classic Terry: Links to Ron Clay & Terry Meiners on WLRS & WQMF in the 1980s
Terry Meiners worked for WKQQ-FM in Lexington from 1976-1980. After a brief stint running a convenience mart in Indianapolis, Terry returned to radio at WLRS-FM in Louisville.
After doing fill-in work for the regular cast, Terry was soon paired with an older, streetwise, gently jaded hippie named Ron Clay.
They were an instant smash hit. It only took a few months for the competition to steal them away for $5 more per week and all the Bryan Adams records they could steal.
Terry retells the story in this 2007 interview: LKYRadio.com
Ron & Terry's "Morning Sickness" show on WLRS moved to WQMF-FM in January 1983. After the LRS owners sued for breach of verbal contract, a Jefferson County circuit judge ruled that the pair could change stations but the name of the show and the sketches remained the intellectual property of WLRS.
It was the first and last time the word intellectual was ever associated with either Mr. Clay or Mr. Meiners.
"The Show With No Name" became a monstrous hit for 96-QMF until Terry's departure for WHAS Radio in June 1985.
Pictured above: Ron Clay & Terry Meiners at WLRS-FM in 1982. Sam Grandison was the doorman at the 800 Building where LRS-102 was located. Click the photo for an audio sample of "Morning Sickness" from 1982.
Here are the first 6 of 46 episodes of Beaver Bits that Ron & Terry produced for "The Show With No Name" on WQMF in 1983

Hall, Bill Clinton, Ronnie O'Bryan, Ralph Hacker, and Frank Hudson "The News Stud." Listen to audio clips here. Davidson's voice is heard today on various commercials.

Terry Meiners, WHAS Radio's 9th Best Announcer
After working for WLRS and WQMF from 1980 through May of 1985, Terry began hosting the afternoon show on 84WHAS. His first show aired on December 2, 1985, after he completed a six month non-competition sabbatical. Audio: Terry's show clips from March 24, 1986 Video: 84WHAS commercial from the 1990s
On his daily show, Terry interviews newsmakers, sports people, imaginary characters, and virtually any real person who walks in through the WHAS studio door.
Terry has also worked for WHAS-TV since 1985, starting with special events reports from the Kentucky Derby and Thunder Over Louisville. Meiners co-hosted Louisville's version of "PM Magazine" in 1987-88, then moved to WHAS-TV news as a weekly feature reporter. Since 1990, Meiners has provided at least one feature per week on the WHAS11 show "Good Morning Kentuckiana. During the college basketball season, Meiners hosts "Courtside With Rick Pitino" every Saturday and contributes halftime interviews during certain game telecasts. Pitino chose Meiners to host the show after taking the head coaching job at the University of Louisville in 2001.
Terry can talk to anyone because he has lived a life filled with constant interaction with others. Meiners hails from a family of fourteen children born to Mel and Norma Meiners, married June 19, 1949. They started making babies the next year and stayed with that hobby for the next twenty years.
THE INCREDIBLE MEINERS FAMILY
Everyone in Louisville knows at least one of Terry's family members. Here's the list with birth dates, spouse names, and the total number of children included so you can determine which Meiners you knew from your school:

The Holy Man Who Couldn't Spell
"HOOKED ON COLEMAN"
In the mid-1990s, the Reverend Louis Coleman wrote a letter to the founder of Clear Channel Communications demanding that he fire "Terry Miner" and especially "Rush Limbo."
He didn't like the nature of our broadcasts and wanted us removed from 84WHAS. Mister Limbo and I continue to be employed in our same time slots.
In May 2001, I said that golfer Casey Martin's court victory allowing him to use a golf cart angered Coleman because it showed judicial bias in giving the white player a chance to use a vehicle to catch up to Tiger Woods. Stepping up in technology, Coleman sent a fax to illustrate his displeasure. This time he misspelled my name as "Miener." Alas, the fax came to me and not my bosses.
A few years later, the celebrated local extortionist wrote another poorly structured letter to the owner of WHAS Radio, misspelling both the first and last names of the owner.
This time he asked Lowry Mays to remove John Ziegler, whom he referred to as "Mr. john somebody." Coleman referenced me as one of WHAS Radio's "trained imitators (certified nut cases)."
Despite our occasional dustups, I respect the late Rev. Coleman's tenacity and devotion to his cause. He pounded a lot of companies into coughing up money for "diversity training," but Coleman never lived high on the hog in his personal life. Whatever he did with his muscle money, he did not splurge on himself.
Rest easy, Buster. Your silence still speaks volumes.

TERRY'S #1 ENGLISH LESSON
---How To Write Goodly---
1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat)
6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments.
11. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. One should NEVER generalize.
15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches
16. Don't use no double negatives.
17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be ignored.
21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
23. Kill all exclamation points!!!
24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
25. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earthshaking ideas.
26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
27. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.
29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
31. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
32. Who needs rhetorical questions?
33. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
34. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
Geek created by Norma & Mel Meiners. Portrait created by Dan Bulleit.
Wikipedia is often invaded by acerbic truth-twisters with venomous agendas. After reading inaccurate information written about me by unknown contributors, I wanted to publish my own Wikipedia listing for Terry Meiners. This is the text that should appear at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_meiners.
Terry Meiners is a radio personality appearing on WHAS (AM) in Louisville, Kentucky for the past 22 years. The Terry Meiners Show airs weekday afternoons from 3-7. Meiners is known for his opinions and satire of news, politics, sports, and local issues. His views are considered socially liberal (pro choice, pro gay marriage, pro Hillary) to fiscally conservative (reduce the size of government). His show doesn't rely heavily on monologues and listener calls, but rather comedy bits and guest interviews, interspersed with local news, weather, and traffic reports.
Meiners also has other popular radio skits that lampoon current and former Kentucky governors and members of Congress. Coining the term “Mayor for Life” for his friend Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson in a radio parody, Meiners has been an ardent supporter of the longtime local leader. The radio show also features impersonations of ESPN announcer Dick Vitale; Rev. Jesse Jackson, ABC announcer Keith Jackson, Regis Philbin, Rosie O’Donnell, various pop culture personalities from the day’s news, and a host of imaginary characters.
Several gifted voice impersonators have worked with Meiners over the years, including Jeff Ketterman, Randy Davidson, and Chuck Knipp (Shirley Q Liquor).
Meiners' show is easily the top rated afternoon talk show in the Louisville market, and usually ties or beats WAMZ, a local music station, in ratings.
Meiners has won 19 Best of Louisville Awards as selected by readers of Louisville Magazine. He has won several LEO Readers’ Choice Awards, been picked multiple times as Radio Personality of the Year in Kentucky Monthly Magazine, and has been nominated for the prestigious Marconi Award, broadcasting’s highest honor.
Before his move to WHAS in 1985, Meiners worked with Ron Clay as the co-host of “The Show With No Name,” a morning drive-time program on Louisville rock station WQMF-FM. The two were known in Louisville for edgy humor that wasn't to be found elsewhere at the time. Before that, Clay & Meiners hosted “Morning Sickness” for WLRS-FM from 1981-1983.
An avid exerciser, Meiners airs a daily radio segment to reward a listener who has done any form of exercise that day. Meiners preaches the benefits of exercise and healthy eating habits. His fitness campaign called “Walk more, eat less” encourages listeners to lose a pound every month, “and lose 4 more for the people who won’t exercise.”
Meiners estimates that principle will result in the net loss of a million pounds per month in the Louisville metropolitan area, a standard which should make it the fittest city in America within 5 years.
Meiners is also known throughout the area as a commercial pitchman, advertising numerous local companies, many of which are owned by his siblings.
In addition to the Pitino coach’s show, Meiners has appeared on WHAS-TV since 1985 as a feature reporter, interviewer, live commentator, and magazine show host. For the past 15 years, Meiners has appeared at different locations every Friday morning on Good Morning Kentuckiana, a news show which airs every weekday. Along with television news anchor Melissa Swan, Meiners hosts the WHAS Crusade for Children, the long-running annual local telethon benefiting children's charities.
Meiners has two sons from his first marriage, Maxwell and Simon.

Terry's Not Completely True Bio
Terry Meiners was released from the Wayward Boys Home in the summer of 1985 and headed for the unemployment line next to the WHAS building in downtown Louisville. After learning that there were no jobs available for guys who can belch the alphabet, Terry moseyed over to WHAS and fell asleep under Wayne Perkey's toupee.
Perkey's massive head heated Terry's brain to a boiling point, so to avoid litigation, WHAS officials hired Terry as a urinal cake changer. Instead of a paycheck, Terry agreed to work for a pass key to the least popular vending machines.
After 21 years, Terry Meiners still changes the cakes daily. Oh yeah, and he also babbles incoherently between three and seven every afternoon on the electric radio.
Unless you're carrying Purell, don't ever shake his hand.
Terry's family life is bizarre. Both of his sons have run off to join cults that study ways to break up other cults. His dog ran off with the installer for Invisible Fence. His cat ran off because Terry kept using him as a replacement slipper.
To pay for his kids' cult fees, Terry works a second job at the fish market called "You've Awakened My Sole."
With everyone gone from the home, Terry now lives alone in a refrigerator box under the viaduct by U of L where tall trucks get stuck. He makes extra money after every trestle snatch by charging $10 to let the air out of the truck tires.
In his latest bit of public service, Terry works at an infirmary where he bathes lepers and then repeatedly gives them a hand. |

Dear Terry, I read the letter that the religious kook wrote you. People like that make me sick. You have a fantastic sense of comedic timing & humor. Keep up the good work. A reformed ANYBODY will drive you crazy. (Reformed smoker, hooker, sinner, etc.) They will nag you to death to convert you! DON'T CHANGE A THING!!!!!!  Patrick
Terry, You are goofy but you also are known for your good English usage and grammar. I am 64 yrs old. I was the crazy kid in elementary school that thought diagramming sentences was fun. I hear a lot of media people saying "Sara Listener sent an email message to Joe and I." I was taught that Joe and I is subjective used for the subject of a sentence or phrase. Joe and me is objective and would be used as the object of a verb or preposition. Has this changed in recent years? Am I out of date? Kitty Strube
TM: Me and Lachlan McLean is ate up with good grammar and stuff. You and me is on the same page on that. Where is all the smart people at? Today's show was the most enjoyable show you've done in years. Your easy going conversation with Mike Armstrong (?) reminded me of listening to you and Ron Clay years ago. It was an easy going conversation with two guys trying to make each other laugh and succeeding in making ME laugh. Thanks for brightening my day.
Re: Anthem 5k race
I just wanted to say thank you! My husband just ran the Anthem 5K. I have been trying to motivate him to exercise for a while. Heart disease runs in his family and I worry about his health. He has been doing the marathon training and is going to run the triple crown. He says that you are what motivated him to exercise. He listens to you every day on the way home from work. It sounds like you say the same stuff I say about exercise ,but for some reason he doesn't listen to his wife. Who knew Terry Meiners a motivator! I thank you and my husband's heart thanks you. Sheri Middleton
I tried to stay with you when you streaked by me on Main Street coming home in the Anthem 5K. I too just turned the big 50 (1-2-57). Aging up to 50-54 was still an ego boost (finish of 24 of 269 in the age group; 22:44). But your 21+ run is just super. I'll say "hi" one Saturday at Heine Brothers - you may recognize me as Trevor's dad; Max and Trevor were on the
semi-famous Yankees championship tean in MRA machine pitch. Again, impressive result...

The initial page listed the price at $14 per month, or $1.75 for specific archived dates. It was not clear if current subscribers are to receive this enhanced newspaper Web site as an added bonus. AND THEN, THERE ARE OTHER NEWSPAPERS THE FAMILY DOG SOON LEARNED THAT HE WASN'T MAN'S ONLY BEST FRIEND
"This table is made of pressed cardboard imitation oak. It's sale priced at $425,000. You'll take it? Excellent selection, Mr. Trump!" "YOU'RE MY BOY, BOO" America's victorious Ryder Cup team celebrates on the back balcony at Valhalla Golf Club after defeating Europe for the first time in nine years. Boo Weekley, shown below being kissed by team captain Paul Azinger, thrilled the Louisville crowd with clutch play peppered with hilarious antics between shots. Here's the recap. Read The London Times critique of European Captain Nick Faldo's leadership. More accounts: Sports Illustrated ESPN The Sporting News
  ESPN.com writer Pat Forde perfectly described the "Boo-tiful" attitude that Boo Weekley gave the American team. Read it here. In the photo on the right, Kentucky native J. B. Holmes celebrates his victory in the singles match that put the United States one point away from victory.  Members of the U.S. Ryder Cup team pose in their college colors.

Holmes, Anthony Kim, Steve Stricker, Justin Leonard, and Stewart Cink. IDOL TO GIVE KENTUCKY A SCALPING During the audition segments shot in Louisville July 18 thru 21, producers from American Idol saved footage of various rejected contestants who were sporting mullet haircuts. Singers with this redneck hairstyle ("Business in the front; party in the back") will reportedly be used in a special AI feature intended to perpetuate the stereotype that all Kentuckians are style-impaired bumpkins. This derisive characterization of locals, despite the fact that many auditioning singers are from other parts of the country, is slated for an American Idol broadcast next January. A local advertising agency is working on a commercial to air multiple times during that broadcast that will attempt to counteract the hillbilly label that American Idol will project. The crux of the pro-Louisville, Kentucky ad will highlight many of the varied cultural pearls the city and state offer to visitors. American Idol has attracted audiences at or above 30 million viewers in the past, but has seen significant audience erosion in the past two years. WOMEN: YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH 'EM AND YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH 'EM Since she stepped out of obscurity on August 29, Governor Sarah Palin has thrilled men and confounded women. Liberal women are seething. Conservative women are smiling through clenched jaws. The best thing men can do is sit back and enjoy watching the brouhaha. Women are sniping with each other over Palin's devotion to her children, her experience, and her ability to lead. But we all know the core of the discord is really about her looks. Adulthood: It's high school with money, and America's women are all back in the cafeteria, making snarky comments about the class hottie. READ: New York Times jealous woman columnist WATCH: jealous woman comedian (note: rough language) READ: Oprah Winfrey decides to ignore Sarah Palin until after the election READ: Rational overview of Culture Wars by two male columnists READ: A rational female columnist and mother of a Down Syndrome child tout Palin's abilites to lead SNARKY CHICK TUTORIAL: Here's a typical quote from a liberal woman who pretends to be open minded: “When I first heard about Palin, I was impressed,” said Pamela Moore, a mother of two from Birmingham, Ala. But upon reading that Ms. Palin’s special-needs child was three days old when she went back to work, Ms. Moore began questioning the governor’s judgment. Partly as a result, she plans to vote for Senator Barack Obama. (from "A New Twist in the Debate on Mothers" by two women writers in The New York Times)
The article is supposed to make the reader believe that the quoted woman just decided to vote for Barack Obama based on Sarah Palin's "neglect" of her child. Did the article detail Sarah Palin's husband's ability to care for the child? Of course, the woman is, was, and will continue to be a Barack Obama liberal. The writers want you to think that she was swayed by Palin's recklessness. Was there any investigation as to whether Governor Palin returned to work for just an hour a few days after the birth, or was she there burning the midnight oil? No, the women writers planted the notion that women are crossing party lines to support Obama because Palin is a "bad mother." For the next six weeks, enjoy the thinly-veiled "impartial" reporting by female journalists. Today's bra-snapping will turn to face punches and belly punches as we get closer to election day. Enjoy the show, boys!  LIVE SHOT LAUGHERS: TV REPORTER BLOOPERS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!  THE SECRET VIDEO: HOW MICHAEL PHELPS BULLIED THE COMPETITION NATALIE, NATURALLY
