Russ Cassidy, WCMS “FM 100” Norfolk Va | February 17, 1988
…FM 100 WCMS, Your Station Of The Stars! In what might just turn out to be the only remaining aircheck of the old WCMS (AM 1050, FM 100.5), here’s a recording I made while living in Portsmouth, Va. I was stationed in Norfolk during the years 1985-1988, much of that time in the Naval shipyards…
John Saville, WWYZ “Country 92.5” Waterbury/Hartford | March 21, 1989
From the Steve West collection comes this 23 year old tape just found in an old box. Honestly, I forgot that I even recorded this. Here’s John Saville on his former night shift on Country 92.5, about six months after the station flipped to Country from AC. The station is using its original jingle package,…
610 KFRC San Francisco: The End of Top 40 | August 11, 1986; 3:00 – 6:00 AM
Public affairs programming ends and overnight jock Jack Silver picks up where the station always did at 3am – playing the best music. Only, on this particular morning, the playlist is opened up all the way back to 1955. Its the final show of Rock & Roll music on KFRC. The Big 610 was about…
Jackson Armstrong on 1510 WMEX Boston | February, 1968
Jackson Armstrong seems to be one of airchexx.com’s favorites – his name shows up in our search page almost as frequently as Dan Ingram – and little wonder why! One of the fastest talkers ever, Armstrong has a long history of gracing radio stations with his mouth, one of them being WMEX Boston. Here’s a…
Shotgun Tom Kelly, WGCL G98 Cleveland | January 3, 1975
G98 Playin Less Commercials and More Boogie… The 70s sure had their share of economic difficulties, eh? Even here in 1975, stations are basing some of their promotions around people having hard times. This opens with just such a contest. This is a short recording of Shotgun Tom Kelly on the old G98. This station…
The Howard Clark Show, 610 KFRC San Francisco | November 25, 1966
It seems like it was ALWAYS Para Camero time at KFRC in the 60s. Here’s the Big 610 on Thanksgiving Day playing the All-Time Top 300. Its amazing to hear the Drake sound once again… with Bill Drake voicing a dry Top Hour Legal ID. There was no reverb on KFRC, but the station was…
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…
Boston Sampler #1: WRKO / WVBF
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis, here’s a wonderful composite featuring two of Boston’s legendary Top 40 stations. It starts with Harry Nelson on WRKO, then moves on into the wierdest thing your webmaster’s heard come out of a radio (and I’ve heard a lot of strange things over the years). WVBF apparently has just tweaked…
