QuickCheck: Jack Spector, 570 WMCA New York | 1967

Jun 29, 2010 2 Comments

Curiously, we’ve never featured anything by Jack Spector. Now, courtesy of contributor Paul Ford, we take a listen to a very high quality recording of WMCA Good Guy Jack Spector. This is short, but compare this, early 60s approach to Top 40 with any of our ‘checks of crosstown 77 WABC during this time and you’ll instantly notice the difference! WABCs streamlined, yet personaility/jingled approach to the format buried WMCA.

Jack Spector is great, however. WMCA would change formats away from Top 40 in just a few short years, but here, the station is full of energy!

    The correct date on this aircheck is 9/10/1965. Peter Kanze is the original source of this off-the-board scope, which I restored and posted on Reelradio a few years ago. It has been one of the most popular airchecks there ever since. No air talent ever sounded more “New York” than Jack Spector. He was one of the very best.

    Thanks Rob for that date correction….but I could have sworn it was 1967….oh well.
    I will make that change in my audio files.

    I found that aircheck just before ReelRadio went strictly “pay to play” around Jan of 2007….thanks for restoring and posting it.
