A Legend Lives: A Sample of 650 WSM Nashville | September 16, 2014
WSM. Those three call letters bring up images, burned into the memory of past generations. An entire genre of American popular music essentially began right here at this radio station, in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1925 with a weekly show called, “The WSM Barn Dance”. The first announcer/MC for the program was Judge Hay, who changed…
Composite: KFMB-FM “B100” San Diego |February 13, 1980
Bobby Rich would say it all started here. Nothing before or that came after it would compare to the mighty CHR giant sitting at 100.7. At least, not in San Diego! The Top Hour ID ALWAYS went – “KFM – BFM San Diego’s FM!”….. And, it WAS! Here it is, as Glenn McCartney mentions, the…
QuickChexx: Mark Allen, 1540 WPTR Albany | June, 1968
Here’s an early donation from the fabulous Robyn Watts! The recording featured on this tape has seen better times, with a bit of white noise (hiss) present. The night this was recorded, WPTR was subject to fading and a bit of interference from another station at times in the background. Any guesses as to what…
Rodney Manning Fry (correction); Last Show, 550 KCRS Midland | October 8, 1967
Longtime contributor Jeffrey Holland is quite familiar with the subject of this aircheck. Holland has been friends with Rodney Manning Fry (corrected) for a long time. Long enough to have this vintage 1960s recording of Frye’s final show on 550 KCRS. As Holland wrote when sending these in on CD, “(This is) straight off the…
QuickChexx: Brant Miller, 94.7 WYTZ “Z-95” Chicago | June, 1990
Its the Summer of 1990, Chicagoland is gearing up for the 4th of July, and Z-95 is HOT! One would never know by listening to this aircheck that even with Brant Miller doing a killer job on the Z, the BEE crosstown was cleaning WYTZ’s clock in the ratings. So badly, in fact, that just…
QuickChexx: Bobby Skafish, WLUP Chicago
Sent in a long time ago by Robyn Watts, here’s a short recording of Bobby Skafish on Chicago’s Loop FM 98, as they called it back then. When was then? While not marked on the tape, we’ll take an uneducated guess of the early 1980s, perhaps 1981. Someone knows, there are clues. There’s no mention…
Sample: 99.5 WGAY (Silver Spring, MD) Washington DC | July 4, 1997
A crystal clear recording is what we’re treated to on the old Soft Rock station at 99.5 FM. One would think that since 1997 was just yesterday (wasn’t it?) that one of the old WGAY logos would be out there somewhere, but multiple searches in different engines come up with the current CHR station, “Hot…
Dale Knippers, 103.7 WSOC Charlotte – 2001
New Contributor Dale Knippers debut aircheck is actually a 5 minute scope of his show on 103.7 WSOC. WSOC has been a Country station for a long time, starting way back in 1971. It was once the home of the late Bill Dollar, and has been re-branded more than a few times over the years.…
