Philadelphia CHR Wars 1 – Part 1b | 1992

AM Music Holdouts – 950 KXJK Forrest City, AR | September 17, 2004
Who would have thought that any AM station was doing an independent, in house music format, post 2000? There were a few.

Winter Composite: 55 KSD St. Louis | January, 1979

Here’s what appears to be a full-day composite of 55 KSD (Now News/Talk KTRS), beginning with Ron Morgan’s morning…
Bob “Vernon with a V” on 66 WNBC New York | Summer, 1976

This is the Flagship station of the National Broadcasting Company. Sixty Six, W N B C New York!” Talk about being proud as a peacock!…
