Composite: 107.9 WXKS-FM Medford (Boston) | February 8, 2000
Its finally 2000. Four years after Telcom ’96 began the steady stream of consolidation of radio groups, most of the major market stations are still live and intact. This is Boston! One of America’s greatest hotbeds of Radio Talent, and one of the best who ever did it, the late, legendary Dale Dorman starts off…
QuickChexx: Terri Hemmert, 93.1 WXRT Chicago | June 12, 1991
A very pleasant voice greets listeners to the Terri Hemmert Show on 93-XRT. Chicago had a really GREAT, Quality Rock station with a wide variety of Rock – at least for a few years. This is very short, just 4:47, all scoped down nicely to comply with copyright law. We comply with the ‘Fair Use’…
QuickChexx: Chip Hobart, 68 WRKO Boston | 1974
Running about 3 minutes, Courtesy of Contributor Steve Bleecker, here’s a short, clean, and well processed WRKO featuring Chip Hobart. I’m guessing the year 1974 here, since the tape came without the date on it. Could be ’73. Somebody knows. WRKO is using their original jingle package. Sparingly. The Drake era was over, and it’s…
Bill Wright, WIBG 990 Philadelphia | August 1, 1966
“Look out everybody, this is hot wax!!!” We begin by warning listeners: The audio quality on this recording is horrible. Despite my best efforts, the tape sounds muddy, grainy, has dropouts and a very strange echo, which I believe is caused by old oxide audio bleedthrough. What I mean by that is, sometimes when a…
WAXC Demo Tape | 1972
Here’s what probably was a sales demo used by station salespeople to give potential advertisers an idea of what the station sounded like. A very common practice in the industry in the years prior to consolidation, this isn’t something typical of radio stations today. The tape starts and ends with a voiced promo. It includes…
Tom Birch, WHYI Y-100 Miami | 1975 (Corrected)
Longtime Contributor Steve Bleecker returns with a new look into some long forgotten personalities. Included in his latest tape, is this early FM Top 40 screamer Tom Birch. This was high energy you’d find on the AM dial – and little wonder, in 1974, this is the way Top 40 really DID sound, and it…
John Mack, 1380 WAMS Wilmington DE | August 3, 1979
Was THIS any way for a great Top 40 station to end up? A Traveler’s Advisory Station?!! WAMS, the call letters, went through a number of frequency changes at the end of it’s life from around 2000 till the end. Sitting on 1590, 1600, 1250 and even 101.1 FM fairly recently, this once GREAT radio…
Don Walker, 101.7 WKNZ Collins MS | May, 1982
Here’s a station where its very difficult to map out the history of the original station. In fact, we’re not sure exactly what station is on 101.7 since there are conflicting stations listed by different sources. It could be WLVZ – and that’s likely since the info comes from the FCC database, or it could…
