Steve Clark, 1400 AM/103.3 FM WKFR “Keener 14” Battle Creek, MI| July 1968
Listening to this I had to do a double take… KEENER FOURTEEN! An apparent WKNR knockoff (or perhaps it was co-owned), WKFR in Battle Creek sounds suspiciously similar to WKNR Detroit, with similar jingles, even a jock that sounds like Steve Robbins, who was on WKNR in ’67! Steve Clark does a great job on…
Gary Owens on KMPC Los Angeles | August 1, 1969 (corrected)
It’s wierd, listening to this era once again. While there is a ton of history associated with the few monster Top 40 stations of the day, such as WABC, WLS and KHJ, less is available about the more, Middle Of the Road (MOR) stations heard in at the start of the 70s. KMPC was owned…
Ken Knox on 1190 KLIF Dallas | January 4, 1961
Courtesy of George, a trader who provided this via our sister site Radioinsight.com, here is a PERFECT recording of Ken Lock on KLIF, back in the very early days of Top 40 radio! KLIF, of course, was the Gordon McLendon station in Dallas, at this point competing with crosstown KBOX for the Top 40 crown.…
NYC/Hudson Valley Composite, 1975-1977
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Alan Fletcher, here’s a composite of AM and FM stations in New York City and the Hudson Valley region. It spans a time period from sometime in 1975 to 1977. There’s so much packed into this 30 or so minutes of assorted audio its difficult to write all of it here,…
Norm Thibeault on WHEB 100.3 Portsmouth NH | January 1979
I’ve been looking for an aircheck from this era for years, and now we have one! Today’s 100.3 WHEB is an FM-only Classic Rocker, just your average run-of-the-mill rock oldies station, but, back in ’79, it was THE station to listen to while tanning at Hampton Beach during the Summer. Known as “The Star Station”,…
Taylor and Clark on WKNR Detroit | January 7, 1968
We suspect that Steve Taylor and Gene Clark recorded this show right off the board… in fact, they say that they will record all their shows from now on right at the start of this superb recording. Interestingly enough, they say they will no longer say any words that offend the audience… hmmm, you mean…
Tony “The Tiger” Taylor, 79 WQXI Atlanta | April 1, 1965
…You’ve got a tiger in your tank! Now, just added to the world’s LARGEST collection of WQXI airchecks, this fabulous 30 minutes scoped recording of Tony ‘the tiger’ on Quicksie in Dixie and those wonderful PAMS jingles! This comes to us from our friend Matt Seinberg, a trusted source of classics! It’s April Fools’ Day…
Mark Elliot, 1080 WKLO Louisville | January, 1972
Our first aircheck of WKLO comes by way of Contributor Robyn Watts. Tom Prestigiacomo once said that WKLO was the main competition from his station in the late 70s, WAKY. From an earlier time now, Mark Elliot is doing his show on WKLO. Enjoy the format and the scoped sounds of 1972!
