Classic Hawk: The Contest Winner with Tom Scharpling
Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK — a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history.
Originally released on July 25, 2022, this episode marked Tom Scharpling’s first appearance on 108.9 The Hawk as the instantly unforgettable and aggressive Big Scotty.
Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome contest winner and committed Dire Straits fan Big Scotty into the Hawknest, where he believes he’s there to collect Val Verde County Fair tickets. Instead, he learns he has won the 108.9 The Hawk All Summer Pass, kicking off one of the great recurring Hawk nemesis arcs.
