Sample: 98.7 WKSI Greensboro | August 29, 1999
There’s surprisingly little information about this station, once known as “The New 98-7 The Point”. Its current call letters are WSMW, calls that were once in use in Worcester, Massachusetts, used to identify UHF Television TV CH. 27 in the early 1970s. “The Point” was a Rock-based CHR format with no jingles but a healthy…
Jim Van Horn, 1050 CHUM Toronto | September, 1977
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s a snippet of 1050 CHUM in the salad days of late 70s AM Top 40. Its right after Labor Day weekend so we can nail the date of this recording down to early September, 1977. This is Jim Van Horn, a jock with big pipes and a big city…
Don Geronimo & Mike O’Meara, 105.1 WAVA Arlington | January 17, 1986
Its just another day at “All Hit 105 WAVA”, and the All New Morning Zoo is broadcasting live from Epcot Center at Disney World. Listen as various characters interact with our duo here… they even run into other radio stations doing a live broadcast. Take note of the jock from 750 WSB Atlanta as Don…
Kevin Matthews, “Night Service”, WLUP The Loop AM 1000 Chicago | August 12, 1987
The great experiment to see if a Talk/AOR hybrid format would work on AM is fully on display here, at the former WCFL Chicago AM 1000 digs, at this point known as “The Loop AM 100 WLUP”. The Night Service is on the air, with Kevin Matthews and a lot of characters, phoners and *some*…
Bobby Ocean & John Sebastian, “Position 93” KHJ Los Angeles | April 14, 1978
It’s simple, we want to be YOUR radio station – KHJ …Which they WERE, for a very long time. One has to wonder what line of thinking lead to the days of “Position 93”. Top 40? Yes. Exciting? Not really, if you’re judging the station by this aircheck. The music, especially during Bobby Ocean’s show,…
Pat Garrett, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | April 13, 1978
The beginning of the end for KHJ could probably be traced here. Pat Garrett is a capable and really good sounding jock, but blends in a bit TOO well with the music and elements that together were called “The NEW Sound of Position 93 KHJ”. POSITION 93? Actually, quite a bit has been written about…
Eric Chase, 64 KFI Los Angeles | April 13, 1978
64 KFI, Eric Chase with Johnny Nash, who formerly didn’t see Diddly… Eric Chase is another one of those California legends who was heard on so many of the big stations up and down the coast. Perhaps spoken a bit less about than, say, M.G. Kelly, or Robert W. Morgan. But he’s definitely cut from…
Machine Gun Kelly, KTNQ (Ten-Q) Los Angeles | April 8, 1978
Springtime, 1978. Top 40 radio was really playing it all. Kansas. George Benson. the Bee Gees. The Atlanta Rhythm Section and more… All the important action was still on AM. You got all the music, plus the news, traffic reports, huge contests with lots of money, or in this case, a special screening including a…
