Composite: 79 WQXI Atlanta | September 1966
It’s old but it’s a great cross section of talent, some of whom include Dr. Don Rose (KFRC) and Tony Taylor (WOR-FM)! This is mid-60s WQXI, with lots of reverb, cheesy pop tunes and tons of PAMS jingles! Since we’ve become the de-facto WQXI historical site (WQXI is our most popular station according to stats),…
Dick Hemby, 750 WSB Atlanta | 1986
Like many of North America’s clear channel (the classification, not the company) stations, WSB’s 50kw signal was and still is heard over half of the United States and into Quebec and Southern Ontario Canada and the Maritimes. WSB was at the time of this recording, still playing music. It was an Adult Contemporary station, with…
Gary McKee, 94.1 WQXI-FM 94Q Atlanta | March 15, 1986
Courtesy of Contributor Robyn Watts, from California Aircheck ™ tape #S-80 of May 1986. “Do you get the feelin’ these people snuck in and took a look at our checkbooks…?” Gary McKee is in great form playing the hits of the day on CHR 94.1 WQXI-FM. Its the first day of Spring and yet cold…
Lon Thomas, WARM Power 99-7 Atlanta | March, 1986
When this station started playing top 40, it was called “WARM 99”, but in March of 1986 the name changed to “Power 99-7”. The call letters in the beginning were WARM-FM. The memorable WAPW call letters wouldn’t arrive until 1988. Here’s Lon Thomas, highlighted here from audio publication CALIFORNIA AIRCHECK, Tape #S-80 from March of…
Yvonne Monet, WNNX 99X Atlanta | 1994
Contributor Robyn Watts sent in enough tapes for a year’s worth of postings! Included in her 2004 mailing was this tape of Atlanta’s Alternative WNNX 99X. Yvonne Monet is listed elsewhere as part of the early staff of then just two-year old 99X. Not being from Atlanta, I don’t have much information other than the…
Simon Trane on 79 WQXI Atlanta | May 1969
Our second Simon Trane aircheck – we have lots of fans waiting for this. Less than a half hour in length but we think you’ll enjoy going back to the 60s, as WQXI played LOTS of Motown! Another, courtesy of Karl Phillips.
Mike Dineen, 79 WQXI Atlanta | July 20, 1969
Return with us back to Mike Dineen’s morning show. Mike makes mention of the Apollo astronauts ‘floating’ back to Earth at 3,000 miles an hour. The news mentions Vietnam, Chappaquiddick and MLK Jr’s brother. This turns out to be quite an historic reel, judging simply by the news headlines. Lots of old commercials on this…
Randy Robins, 79 WQXI Atlanta | 1969
Here’s some 1969 Atlanta gold! Audio quality is better than FM here on a tape provided to us by Contributor Karl Philips. This is from the original master REEL, which I encoded using a loaned Wollensack courtesy of Contributor and site friend Jack Parnell. Scoped as always, WQXI is sporting PAMS jingles, some great tunes…
