Jo Jo Morales, WHTZ Z100 New York | July 26, 1989
Z100 is celebrating its 6th year as New York’s Number One Hit Music Station, and all sorts of people are congratulating the station including (then) New York Governor Mario Cuomo. We love it when politicians and other celebrities personally voice station liners! This is Z100 in all of it’s glory, playing ALL the hits with…
JoJo Morales; Elvis Duran, 100.3 WHTZ “Z100” New York | 1991
“From the top of the Empire State Building…” It really doesn’t get any better than this! Z100 is blazing hot and always had New York’s best talent! Still does, depending upon who you talk to. Again, from Robyn Watts‘ incredible collection and off side two of East Coast Airchecks Tape 84 side B, we get…
Bill Lee, Renel, Lisa St. Regis; First Day of the “New Jack Zoo – 106.1 KMEL San Francisco
One-time Rocker turned CHR, then Hip Hop & R&B station KMEL began embracing what was known in the early 90s as “New Jack Swing” – a fusion genre of Hip Hop and mix/samples which really has become more mainstream over the years in the Hip Hop world. With that background, here’s the first morning of…
“Mr. 70s” Paul DiMarco, 98.3 WDAQ Danbury | September 16, 1995
“Mr. 70s” himself, Paul DiMarco contributed this aircheck of himself on WDAQ.

The station was featured on Stickam.com, but Stickam went out of business a few weeks ago as of this…
Webmaster’s Corner: A Baseball Fan’s Dream – Attending Media Day at Fenway
This falls under the category of geeky sports fan. In 1988, I was a board op for P&S Broadcasting’s 700 WPNS. The call letters – I’ll get to that story in a moment… Because we were a member of Campbell Sports Network so that we had broadcasting rights to air the Boston Red Sox, the…
“Arrow Talent Sampler” – KCBS-FM & KXOA (FM) | 1995
Perhaps this was the first incarnation anywhere of the modern “Classic Hits” format which most American Oldies stations have morphed into. This particular tape illustrates two Infinity (CBS) stations: 93.1 KCBS-FM Los Angeles (Arrow 93) and 107.9 KXOA (FM) (Arrow 108). Based on the tape label, and the fact that KXOA ran the format from…
Robin King & the “Power Request Hour”, WKSS “Kiss 95.7” Hartford | 1989
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Robyn Watts, this un-dated scope of night jock Robin King, and an assortment of GREAT phone call requests. In fact, aside from this wonderfully fun personality, the best part of this aircheck has to be the way King handles the phones. There’s one bit where a woman requests Guns N Roses,…
