Red Robinson Final Broadcast, 1130 CKWX Vancouver BC | November 12, 1984
CKWX & CFUN broadcasting legend Red Robinson retires after 30 years. This is full of surprise in studio and call in guests as the broadcast community of Western Canada and the Northwest US say farewell. Robinson was allowed to break format on this Country music station and play a lot of the 1950s music that…
Ingrid Schumacher, CHUM-FM Toronto | November 29, 1980
Here’s a unique recording of 104.5 CHUM-FM from back in the days when the station was an Album Rocker. Ingrid Schumacher is listed on Rock Radio Scrapbook as being a weekend personality. She sounds very knowledgeable about the music and fits in well with the station’s overall sound. So good, in fact, by 2001, she…
Early Progressive FM Radio Sampler – KZAP Sacramento, KSAN San Francisco | 1968
This is an odd aircheck, at least the master was. Lots of album cuts, all very heavy progressive rock from 1968. Forget everything you’ve ever heard about how the jocks sounded in this era, this is the real deal. They sound stoned, tuned out and tuned in, almost amateurish, at least on the KZAP part…
Tom Prestigiacomo with Bill Bailey, 79 WAKY Louisville #5 | Summer, 1978
This begins with an old-fashioned shift-turnover featuring the legendary ‘Duke of Louisville’ himself, Bill Bailey talking about the previous weekend’s “Battle of the Stars” competition between area media. Sounds like there was lots of fun, and plenty of Bailey’s snarky sense of humor! The rest of this is a great scoped two hours of Tom…
Tom Prestigiacomo, 79 WAKY Louisville #4 | Summer, 1978
More blazing Summer fun from ‘Wacky 79’! Tom Prestigiacomo was nice enough to donate this series of airchecks of his time at WAKY – actually, as I recall, I had to pry them, as Tom is as humble as he is nice. Here’s 1978 #4 in this series which includes nearly two dozen between here…
Tom Prestigiacomo, 79 WAKY Louisville#3 | 1978
“We ring our bell every half our so you’ll know when to turn to prevent sunburn”. Obviously a Summer ‘check, here’s my friend Tom P. on WAKY Radio. 790 was obviously THE station to turn to for Summer fun in Kentuckyana. Be sure to leave your comments and questions below.
Roby Yonge, 105.9 WAXY-FM Miami | July 7, 1985
There are few recordings of Roby Yonge from the days after his firing from WABC New York for breaking format with his “The Beatle Paul is Dead” announcements. However, Yonge was a successful on-air Deejay in Miami for many years after the excitement wore off. Heard here is an equally exciting recording of WAXY at…
The End: WCTZ ‘The New 96.7 The Coast’ Port Chester/Stamford CT Signs Off | May 20, 2011
Thanks to Contributor Mike Raub. What happens when you get a phone call that says essentially, “Turn it off, now”? This recording, that’s what! This is all that’s left of a station that once occupied the 96.7 frequency licensed to Stamford, CT. The station was sold and as part of the agreement, Cox radio built…
