Cousin Bruce Morrow, WINZ Miami, Part 1 | September, 1974
Courtesy of Contributor Steven Green. Recorded off the air into a mic/table cassette machine by the sound of it, our contributor made a couple of hours worth of recordings of this interesting aircheck of Cousin Brucie making an appearance on WINZ. The first aircheck starts with Lee Sherwood but segues in to Bruce. Lee worked…

Retro Friday Live from the Phoenix, 107.1 CILQ Toronto | July 14, 2000
Description by Steve West: Recorded late on a Friday night (10:45 to 11:30 pm), here’s a multi-faceted aircheck that begins with the number one song on “Toronto’s Most Wanted” countdown (Red Hot Chili Peppers’ – Californiacation) and flows through a night where the station is broadcasting live at a local night club. It’s also an…
News & Dusty Rhodes on Real Oldies 1530 WSAI Cincinnati | January 6, 2003
On this very short clip of WSAI, recorded only SIX days into the new Real Oldies format, you get a feel for the retro format of the station. It starts with News & Traffic, then into a Charlie Van Dyke imager, then into Dusty Rhodes open. Unfortunately, this format didn’t last very long. WSAI Dropped…
Composite: Howard Hoffman, Stephanie Miller & Jeff Thomas – 97.1 WQHT New York | 1991
Courtesy of Contributor Robyn Watts, here’s two separate airchecks of 97.1 WQHT spliced into one composite. Both are from “East Coast Airchecks” Tape #84 Side B. Howard Hoffman’s voice is so processed, he almost reminds me of Imus in the Morning, WNBC circa 1981 or so. But no, the real Howard Hoffman, whacky as ever…
Peter Parker, 97.5 WZOK Rockford IL | 1991
Peter Parker is no Spiderman, but he is one entertaining jock. Its sometime in the early 90s, and like most of these East Coast Airchecks tapes, its often tough to nail down an exact date. We’ll say 1991 for now. Painfully short, at just 2:13, here’s a most accurate representation of a typical day in…
Tom Ambrose on WCCO-FM Minneapolis/St. Paul | 1978
Another from the archives. 103 FM WCCO FM – this is a very laid-back aircheck, reminiscent of the old Soft Rock 103 WEEI-FM in Boston. If anyone knows the history behind this station, leave a comment below. Click the above graphic to listen. Real Player Required.
Gary James, 1140 CKXL Calgary | February 1985
While by 1985, most top 40 music in the United States had migrated to FM, with very few exceptions, in Canada, the format survived – even thrived in many markets on AM, thanks in part to the policies of the CTRC, Canada’s radio regulatory body, their version of the FCC. In Canada its not just…
