Beth Bacall; Al and Nichole, WTJM “Jammin’ 105” New York, Part 2 | October 21, 1999
Here’s part 2 of our first posting of the former “Jammin’ 105” before they went full-blown Urban. This picks up where part 1 left off, right in the middle of a station promo voiced by WTJM personality Famous Amos and continues for several minutes. Then, mysteriously, it picks up, apparently either later that same morning…
Beth Bacall, WTJM “Jammin’ 105” New York, Part 1 | October 21, 1999
Beth Bacall is the star attraction on R&B Oldies “Jammin’ 105”. From 60s Motown, through the Disco era of the 70s and into the Rhythmic hits of the 80s, this station played the soundtrack of three generations. The jingles in use here are classic JAM WABC cuts resung for WTJM. I can identify three packages,…
Dick Summer, “New York 97” WYNY (97.1) | 1979
A recent contribution from Ray Bozzanca, this scoped recording of fan favorite Dick Summer on the old AC station WYNY from 1979 when it was still at 97.1 FM. This is somewhat of a disappointment, since much of Summer’s content was edited out of the original recording. Frankly, I’m surprised that more airchecks don’t come…

A.J. Hammer, WPLJ 95.5 Mojo Radio New York | June 21, 1991
WPLJ’s last try at the CHR format was this super-hot version of the format which lasted for a short period of time. Mojo Radio sounded great and gave crosstown Z100 a run for it’s money before flipping to HotAC. Here’s A.J. Hammer, a voice that fits right in with the format. Its a Friday afternoon,…
Tommy Edwards, WOR-FM 98.7 New York | 1971
Tommy Edwards, who would later appear at WLS Chicago, is heard on this very high-quality QuickCheck of the old WOR-FM 98.7! Courtesy of Paul Ford, this is a short, choppy scope of WOR-FM which includes jingles, but not much else for elements. You hear a bit of Tommy Edwards doing the format but that’s really…
WABC Rewound ’04: Bob Cruz, August 31, 1978
Courtesy of Matt Seinberg at Big Apple Airchecks, here’s another ‘lost’ tape: From Rewound ’04, Hour 2 featured Bob Cruz during his program on 8/31/78. As host Johnny Donovan says, this segment is for those who love ‘lost 45s’. WABC played a lot of disco music at this point in time, but it begins with…
Gus Gossert; The Oldies But Goodies Show, WPIX New York | 1971
From New Contributor Stewart Tick, here’s an early 70s show that became a classic and was the genesis for WCBS-FM’s “Do Wop Shop” which ran for nearly 30 years on 101.1. Writes Stewart Tick: l vocal groups, and featuring many of the more obscure and offbeat doo-wop records that had been played by DJs like…
