Brian White, “99X”WXLO New York | Sometime 1974
Short enough to be a MICRO-Check, here’s something new Contributor Keith Teicher sent in a few weeks ago. This is Brian White on 99X, and we’re guessing at the year here – sounds like 1976, although there’s not really enough of this aircheck to really get a feel for the exact date, but one can…

Here’s a ‘world premier aircheck’ of Cousin Brucie, as recorded by contributor Keith Teicher live on 66 WNBC New York on 09/05/75.

Ed Baer for B. Mitchell Reed, 570 WMCA New York | July 31, 1964
“Swingin’ With The Good Guys…” The BMR show with the Big Bad Bear! WMCA was in heated competition with WABC during this time, and the station was captializing on the Beatles as much as anyone. Listen for the announcement of the Beatles arriving in a few days at Kennedy Airport. WMCA had hoped to be…

This starts out with an emotional Steve Craig saying his farewell as the Rock Show comes to a final conclusion. A quick legal ID & a couple of songs, and the rest of the day picks up, as WRXP goes out with a bang. A couple of quick notes here. First, it is kind of…
New York’s 101.9 FM Reinvents itself as WEMP “101-9 FM New”: Sample, 8/5/11
How we got here… doesn’t really matter anymore. One can get really confused trying to figure out why a station is programmed to be as it is. Take this new WEMP. Rumored to be a future FM News station, 101-9 FM New (WITHOUT the S) is caught in an hour long news segment at about…
