Harry Nelson, 98.7 WXLO New York | December, 1977
Active on Facebook (so you can contact him), Nelson has been in radio for a very long time. Much of it was with RKO-General’s chain of radio stations. His resume includes radio stations like WRKO Boston, KFRC San Francisco, WJBQ Portland Maine, WROR Boston, and even a stay at WXLO “99X” New York! As heard…
Quickcheck: Sue O’Neil, WXLO 99X New York | Winter 1978
From contributor Brian Redman – a reasonably hi-fi recording of Sue O’Neil on 99X. We’re not sure of the date but considering there’s ice and snow its a safe bet that we’re talking about the Winter of ’78. At a whole 58 SECONDS long, this is the shortest aircheck on our site! This starts with…
Bill Berlin on 1240 WKDA Nashville – Part 2 | December 27, 1968
Just to prove that 8pm to Midnight were the ‘rock hours’ on top 40 AM radio, you’ll hear (scoped) hits by the Beatles and even Deep Purple, mixed in with the top Motown sounds. What’s really amazing about this aircheck, while Berlin is a ‘puker’ (weren’t they all back then?), he does a masterful job…
Chuck Browning, KFMB-FM ‘B-100’ San Diego | April 1976
“B100 FM with the Original Chucker…” And you’re asking where we dug this up?! Too bad this is only about three minutes long. Chuck Browning was heard all over America within and outside the RKO chain of radio stations, including WXLO New York and KFRC San Francisco, both of which are posted right here on…
Steve Sawyer, “Country Jukebox”, 97.7 WINQ Winchendon MA | August 5, 1990
And now, the story of a Country music show that may have lead to the eventual Country format of WINQ, a station that today is at 98.7 in Keene NH. Back when 97.7 first went on the air, it was what eventually would be called Adult Standards. Non-Rock vocalists from the 1940s and 50s with…
Liz Solar, 103.3 WODS Boston | 1987
Liz is in for Sandy Benson, and honestly, I can’t tell if her last name is Solar or something else. Sure hope I haven’t mis spelled or mis-identified her. Here’s five minutes of the ORIGINAL Oldies 103, from the early days after flipping from CHR WHTT. WODS didn’t add the POINT 3 to its on…
Dick Biondi, KRLA Los Angeles | June 14, 1965
“…First in Music, First in Fun!” Dick Biondi (WBBM-FM, WLS, others) is captured for all time on this near studio-quality recording from 1110 KRLA, just two months after crosstown 93 KHJ flipped to Bill Drake consulted Top 40. After listening to this, one could easily understand why KHJ clobbered KRLA in the ratings. While very…
Rolling Stones “Voodoo Lounge” Pre-Concert Broadcast, 102.5 WDVE Pittsburgh | September 29, 1994
This came to us on CD about ten years ago, cut up into 21 tracks and mastered from the original source tape. The Rolling Stones were in the middle of their biggest U.S. Concert tour of their career, the “Steel Wheels” tour, promoting their then-new album of the same name. When Mick Jaggar and company…
