George Klein, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Spring, 1973
George Klein, by 1973, was known nationally, and internationally, as Elvis Presley’s best friend. Aside from allegations of payola that circled around Kline, he never was directly accused. And this is good. One of the most influential Memphis Jocks and programmers in the 60s/70s, Klein certainly had his connections in Graceland. And he spent lots…
Chris Curtis, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Spring, 1973
Contributor Rob Grayson has digitized more of his tape collection. This is from the first of six sent in this week. Rob writes: “More goodies… these were recorded all on the same day in Spring of 1973, and I think I got them from Memphis DJ Don Roberts (Barney Raines), straight off the radio. You…
J.J. Jackson, 97.1 WFOX Gainsville (Atlanta) | April 7, 1987
Courtesy of California Aircheck via Robyn Watts, here’s J.J. Jackson’s morning show on Fox 97. The station slogan at this time is “Fox 97, playing the Classic Hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s” Newsworthy on this date: Sonny Bono is running for mayor of Palm Springs and Suzanne Somers announced her support for him.…
QuickChexx: A Sample of 91.3 WRBC Lewiston ME | February, 1987
With not much audio to go on and virtually no information about this one, we looked up the info and this is the station of Bates College up in Lewiston Maine. The amateur nature of the jocks gives it away pretty quickly. But you have to give them credit, these students gave it a good…
O’Brien In The Morning, WSB-FM B-98.5 Atlanta | April 7, 1987
We often think about the late 1980s as not that long ago. After all, most of us remember the 80s… MTV when it played music videos, hits from Madonna, Steve Winwood and more. But, it really was a long time ago. As of this posting, it was almost twenty-six years ago when Sugar Ray Leonard…
QuickChexx: Jim Hart, Calvin Hicks; 107.9 WPHR Cleveland | April 10, 1987
A Program Director’s dream length aircheck coming in at about 3 and a half minutes, WPHR is the CHR station known as “Power 108”! Because this is short there is really not much we can say about this. Jim Hart is heard first, he says his goodbye and turns the station over to Calvin Hicks…
“Limelight”, 960 KABL Oakland | September 6, 1960
Suppose you wanted to know what radio sounded like in 1960. You probably thought most stations were playing some sort of popular music. If you judge by this aircheck, you’d be wrong. KABL is licensed to Oakland, but serves the greater San Francisco area. Or, it was in 1960. Back then, the station aired a…
Mark & Kim on KOST 103.5 Los Angeles
Simply put, this is by far, the #1 ranked aircheck on this site! Recorded sometime in the 1990s, here’s Mark Wallengren & Kim Amidon and their former wildly popular “Mark & Kim” morning show on KOST 103.5. Judging from the comments posted about this recording, its clear that this morning team was perhaps the most…
