Steve Mitchell, 96.3 WMYQ Miami | December 29, 1972
Courtesy of the new Mike Raub Collection, here’s a quarter-hour of the Steve Mitchell Show on the old WMYQ Miami. This is everything you wanted to hear in the “Q” format… Q-Tips, Shotgun “Q” jingles (the same you would hear at KCBQ San Diego during this time period) and the whole shotgun approach to Top…
Walt ‘Baby’ Love, CKLW, “The Big 8” Windsor (Detroit) | 1970
New from the Mike Raub collection, 6 minutes of Walt Baby Love, heard in 1970 doing the Bill Drake format at The Big 8! Here’s a YOUNG sounding Baby Love, from the years before he would join the cast of WXLO 99X New York.
Composite: Radio Luxembourg – The Great 208 | June 14, 1982
Introducing the newly minted Mike Raub Collection! The first of many additions is this scratchy, but authentic recording of what was known as the world’s most powerful commercial radio station. Running 1300 KW at 1440 (actually 1439) KHZ on the AM band, this was easily the largest commercial AM station in the world! The station…
Willie B. & Floyd Wright, WKCI KC-101 Hamden/New Haven CT | 1979
Originally posted on 10/21/04 in Real Audio format. Kopps/Monahan was one of those small broadcast companies that believed in doing things right. In New Haven CT, their highly rated 13 WAVZ was a ratings success story. In 1979, they decided to launch the format on FM, flipping WKCI 101.3 to Top 40 as KC-101. Here…
Dick Summer, “New York 97” WYNY (97.1) | 1979
A recent contribution from Ray Bozzanca, this scoped recording of fan favorite Dick Summer on the old AC station WYNY from 1979 when it was still at 97.1 FM. This is somewhat of a disappointment, since much of Summer’s content was edited out of the original recording. Frankly, I’m surprised that more airchecks don’t come…
William B. Williams Farewell: WNEW 1130 New York, Part 3 – August 3, 1986
From Ira Warren Patasnik, the third segment of this great tribute to legendary WNEW broadcaster William B. Williams, who passed away of complications from colon cancer on August 3, 1986. Bob Jones hosts the “Make Believe Ballroom” for this tribute to Mr. Williams, who had hosted the program up until his cancer surgery in 1985.…
Mitch Michaels, 105.9 WCKG Chicago | Undated
Part of the Robyn Watts Collection and taken from California Aircheck tape #S-206, Side One, here’s Mitch Michaels and a 6 minute scope of the morning show on 105.9 WCKG. I don’t know much about WCKG but this is a very high quality recording that held up well over the years. Don’t forget, if you…
The Damon Scott Show, 96-5 WTIC-FM Hartford | March 5, 2002
From the new Doug North collection, here’s a different look at a former Hot Hits ™ station that outgrew its old Top 40 roots. 2002 is not that long ago, but WTIC-FM is a heritage hit music station, and although these days there’s lots of voice tracking and nighttime syndication with the Billy Bush show,…
