Composite: Rick Dees, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | 1979 – 80
Courtesy of new contributor Leo Knott comes this reasonably low-fidelity recording of various Rick Dees morning shows during his time at 93 KHJ. Dees fans note that this is so tightly scoped down that there’s barely a hint of KHJ jingles, no music and is otherwise somewhat boring to the average listener because of the…
QuickCheck: Mark Hanson, 93 KKHR Los Angeles | August, 1985
From our increasingly-reliable source at our sister site, the Aircheck Trader’s Board at www.radioinsight.com, comes this original recording of HitRadio 93 KKHR. Outside of the year, we can’t really determine the date, but perhaps it doesn’t matter. CBS really had a good thing on its hands with its’ branded “HitRadio” CHR format. Stations like KKHR,…
Gary Owens on KMPC Los Angeles | August 1, 1969 (corrected)
It’s wierd, listening to this era once again. While there is a ton of history associated with the few monster Top 40 stations of the day, such as WABC, WLS and KHJ, less is available about the more, Middle Of the Road (MOR) stations heard in at the start of the 70s. KMPC was owned…
Bruce Vidal & Jeff Wyatt, KIIS 102-7 Kiss-FM Los Angeles
Thanks to our good friends at California Aircheck, we have a fresh copy of this excellent aircheck! This is right from the master copy so enjoy, and be sure to visit their website for more goodies! Certainly, Kiss-FM is and has been the premier Top 40 station in L.A. for decades now, but what’s this…
QuickChexx: Terry Nelson, 64 KFI Los Angeles – DX Reception | 1978
Contributor J. R. Russ sent this in quite a while ago and while it was labelled ‘1976’, obviously the music zooms us in on 1978. This is not the typical aircheck you’d normally hear on this website. It was recorded a long distance from Los Angeles, and I really can’t tell you where from, but…
Johnny Hayes, 101.1 KRTH Los Angeles “K-Earth 101” | September 17, 2001
Right in the shadow of 9/11, patriotism is at a 50 year high and Johnny Hayes starts out with comments about flags and buying American in two breaks in a row. One could hardly blame him, most of us felt the same way. And perhaps, thats the best part of this short scope of K-Earth…
Mark & Kim on KOST 103.5 Los Angeles
Simply put, this is by far, the #1 ranked aircheck on this site! Recorded sometime in the 1990s, here’s Mark Wallengren & Kim Amidon and their former wildly popular “Mark & Kim” morning show on KOST 103.5. Judging from the comments posted about this recording, its clear that this morning team was perhaps the most…
Dick Biondi, KRLA Los Angeles | June 14, 1965
“…First in Music, First in Fun!” Dick Biondi (WBBM-FM, WLS, others) is captured for all time on this near studio-quality recording from 1110 KRLA, just two months after crosstown 93 KHJ flipped to Bill Drake consulted Top 40. After listening to this, one could easily understand why KHJ clobbered KRLA in the ratings. While very…
