Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | Summer, 1969
…”Its time now for my name!!!” Big Dan Ingram is the highlight of this aircheck, recorded on a sunny, 80 degree day. Its the Summer of Love 1969, and Ingram is as irreverent and witty as ever! Listen how Dan Ingram weaves in and out of songs, sings along with commercials, and creates an atmosphere…
Bob Dayton, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | 1978
It’s been a while since we posted a new WCBS-FM aircheck, and we think this one will delight longtime fans of the ‘Golden 101’! This goes back to 1978. Bob Dayton (WABC, KBLA) sounds warm and personable, and CBS-FM is playing all the great songs from the 50s, 60s and early 70s. This is the…
Jeannine Jersey on WRXS X-107 Ocean City | July 22, 1999
And just what did CHR radio sound like a scant four years after Telcom 96 set the ball in motion for consolidation of just about everything? This is a pretty good representation of the state of the format as we closed out the 90s – bland (IMHO) music, about 18 commercial units an hour and…
Lee Douglas with Elton John aka “EJ the DJ”, WXLO 99X New York | Summer 1975
Sir Elton John apparently was an accomplished DJ among his other talents! At least, he was after this raunchy appearance on the Mighty X! Its the Summer of 1975. “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart” and “Philadelphia Freedom” were a year away from becoming Elton John’s mega-hits. But with a slew of rock classics under his…
Herb Crow, WWSW “3WS” Pittsburgh | October 8, 1980
Here’s another station from the Steel City which hasn’t got much exposure. “3WS” is apparently still around, although we’re not sure what format its running these days. The tape at hand was sent in by Robyn Watts. It highlights 3WS as an Oldies station in October of 1980. It sounds like the morning show, Herb…
Rick Shaw, 560 WQAM Miami | December 20, 1967
Aircheck courtesy of Contributor Larry Stoler Often times when researching the legacies of classic radio stations, we don’t come across much valuable information. Its times like this when the audio we post must speak for itself. This aircheck is all about the hits of 1967 and the air talents of Rick Shaw. The burning question…
The KT Morning Zoo, 104.7 WNOK-FM Columbia SC | 1985
Somewhere lost in the archives donated prior to 2006 was this gem, buried along with a few others. Here’s a short scope of the “KT Morning Zoo” on “Hot Hits” CHR formatted WNOK. Apparently, the morning show, at least, was simulcast on the AM side 1230 WNOK, the one clue being the live Top Hour…
Legacy of KFRC: The Top 40 Years – 1966-1986
Contributor Ron Hummel sent in a wonderful documentary narrated by the great Bobby Ocean which chronicles the Big 610 from its humble beginnings out of the sleepy Don Lee era through the final days as a Top 40 station. While the original disc was inclusive 1966 to 1991, KFRC 610 was only Top 40 until…
