Rosko (Bill Mercer): A “Trip” Into Progressive Rock – 102.7 WNEW-FM New York | December 16, 1970
What does one do with a tape which has no liner notes, few markings and one typewritten label which says ‘Rosko WNEW-FM 12/16/70’? Well, if you’re me, you post it on Airchexx.com. Trouble is, while this absolutely is Rosko (Bill Mercer), there’s not one mention of the radio station call letters, no mention of time,…
94.7 New York Spins The Wheel Of Formats
Following Harold Camping’s failed end of the world prediction, Family Stations began to sell off its commercial band FM stations to stay afloat. First Maryland, then Philadelphia, leaving only New York remaining. Finally in October 2012, 94.7 WFME was sold to Cumulus for $45 Million. On Friday, January 11, 2013 WFME signed-off and quickly gave…
Bill Rock, 103.5 WYNY New York
Bill Rock was well known in New York prior to the Country version of WYNY, having been part of WNBC for many years. Here’s Bill on Y103.5 in its country incarnation. We might call it the fourth incarnation of WYNY, counting in the 70s “All News” format, AC as “New York 97” on 97.1, Country…
Dick Summer; “Mouth vs Ear”, 97.1 WYNY New York | January 1979
Dick Summer has become a good friend to us here at Airchexx and its always great when he sends in something REALLY special. This time, we’re back in New York, at 30 Rock and the studios of WYNY “New York 97”. The control room is packed for another exciting edition of “Mouth vs Ear”. Dick…
Rick Hunter, 106.7 WLTW New York | 1999
Contributor Rick Hunter (WODS/WCBS-FM/WYNY)is featured in this QuickCheck which doubles, apparently, as one of his demos. We’re guessing here as to the exact year, but judging from the music – from memory, mind you, thinking 1999, based upon Brian McKnight’s version of “Back at One” (and don’t get me started, arguing that Mark Wills’ version…
Rick Hunter, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | 1986
New Contributor Rick Hunter’s self-submitted skimmer makes us all yearn for the old 101 WCBS-FM, complete with REAL Oldies music and a roster of the Who’s Who of New York radio broadcasters. Rick Hunter was less known in the 80s but as this QuickCheck shows, he was a natural talent that was going places. After…
Chris Gable, 97.1 WYNY New York | Sometime, 1979
Believe it or not, this is scoped down from a two hour file to only 3 minutes. A testament to the way people recorded music in the days before CD ripping and mp3 downloads, the source tape was chocked full of complete songs, but most of the ‘other’ elements, which we at this website prize,…
QuickChexx: Chuck Leonard, 107.5 WBLS New York | Summer, 1989
Contributor Robyn Watts struck gold sending these countless editions of “California Aircheck” tapes to us here at Airchexx! Featured here is a QuickCheck – under five minutes scoped of the late Chuck Leonard (WABC, WRKS, WBLS, WQEW). Chuck is so comfortable doing this format its as if he totally belongs here among the WBLS family.…
