Jack “Da Whack” Tally, WHTZ Z100 New York | Summer, 1989
Recorded in the Summer of 1989, Jack Da Whack is caught live on Z100! This was sent in on cassette, the first cut from “East Coast Airchecks” #7 contributed by Robyn Watts. Note the high energy level! Z100 was probably the hottest radio station in America by 1989, the station often copied but never quite…
Peter Tripp, “Your Hits of the Year”, 1050 WMGM New York | December 31, 1959
To some, 1959 may seem like just yesterday, but this recording returns to a time when even in New York, everything was slower. WMGM 1050 owned by Metro Goldwyn Mayer (the film studios), was in a heated battle for the teen audience with its pioneering Top 40 format. Its main competition was WINS 1010. The…
Del DeMontreaux and “Your Hometown Countdown”, 103.5 WYNY New York | August 28, 1992
There is a long history of Country music in New York, although a city grade signal hasn’t truly been available for about 10 years. Sure, there is “My Country 96.1” out on Long Island, and for those far enough south of NYC, there’s WXTU on 92.5 out of Philadelphia. But except for what was known…

Chuck Leonard, 77 WABC New York | April 2, 1979
As part of our celebration of the 50th anniversary of WABC’s format change to Top 40 full time, here’s Chuck Leonard as heard on his show on 4/2/79. This is another high quality original recording thanks to Big Apple Airchecks. Leonard is in top form, as the final year of true Top 40 rolls on…
Chuck Leonard, 77 WABC New York | August 31, 1978
Here’s an hour long treat for WABC Music Radio 77 fans! I’ve no idea how this was recorded but it sounds suspiciously like it was taken right off the WABC studio console. The audio quality is the best I’ve ever heard! Sped up records (well, carts, as WABC had all carted music by 1978), lots…
Storm Coverage: Hurricane Sandy, 2012 – Part 2, Various Stations (CT/NY) | October 28, 2012 – 7-8 AM
Running 33 minutes, here’s part two of our coverage of Hurricane Sandy recorded on Monday morning, 8-10 hours before landfall. The reason for recording this, was to document radio’s coverage and response to a major emergency. The only editing of this recording done was to remove most of the commercials and music, where it was…
