KFOG 104.5 San Francisco, Format Flip From Beautiful Music to Rock | Sept. 16 1982
KFOG first went on the air in 1964 as an easy-listening station, and its trademark fog horn sound quickly caught on. By the early 1980s, the easy listening format was drawing an older audience, & management saw a hole in the market, and they thought KFOG should fill it. On September 16, 1982,…
Don Imus, SportsRadio 66 WFAN New York on C-SPAN | January 7 1994
It’s one thing listening to a busy morning radio show. It’s another thing to watch it. It’s facinating to watch this video aircheck of Imus In The Morning, that ran on C-Span, back in 1994. It was a rare opportunity to not only watch Don & his crew do the show, but also gave us…
The Harvey Miller Show (Humble Harve), 1500 KBLA Burbank | December 17, 1966
At this point in time, KBLA actually sounded good. But it’s signal at night really stunk.
Blog: What to do about AM Radio. Analog or DRM?
I have been floating ideas around for the past month. I’d like to share a few with you:
Dan McCoy, Hot Hits Z104 WNVZ Norfolk | 1985
In the early 1980s, Mike Joseph’s “Hot Hits” format was one of the hottest CHR formats in the country. Joseph first installed his high energy approach to Top 40 on 96 WTIC-FM in Hartford & WFBL in Syracuse. The format really took off in fall of 1981, when Joseph signed up WCAU-FM in Philadelphia.…
Chuck Dunaway, KILT 610 Houston | 1967
Chuck Dunaway is often remembered from being on air at WABC in it’s early Top 40 days. He had a pretty successful radio career over 35 years. Dunaway held down afternoon drive slot at every radio station he worked at during his 35-year career, including radio KILT Houston, KLIF-AM Dallas, WKY Oklahoma City, WABC New…
Jack Armstrong, WKYC 1100 Cleveland | 1967
Before today’s 1100 AM WTAM, and before it was 3WE, AM 1100 was the home of Top 40 WKYC. Some of the names that worked at the station include Jim Stagg, Jim Runyon, Jerry G (Jerry Ghan), who all left the station for WCFL Chicago, That meant new jocks had to take their place.…
Dr. Jerry Carroll, 101.9 WPIX-FM New York | 1977
It’s been a long while since we opened up Matt’s “Big Apple Airchecks” vault here at Airchexx. We should more often! Dr. Jerry Carroll doesn’t use his last name, at least here in this particular recording. Unbeknownst to many New Yorkers at the time, Dr. Jerry was the (later) well-known voice behind all those “Crazy…
