Bob Dearborn, 880 KIXI Seattle | March 29, 1996
Bob Dearborn was one of my favorite air personalities. I listened to him on WCFL, WTAE, WJJD, WJMK, and his national show, Overnight America, back in the 80s. I used to board op Overnight America, when I worked at WOND in Atlantic City. I’ve always felt like he was so polished and smooth… Weaving the…
Norm Gregory, KJR 95 Seattle | May 1971
KJR Channel 95 was Seattle’s dominant Top 40 station, from the 1950s, through the 1980s. Big promotions, big personalities, and the biggest songs of the era were featured on KJR. Some of the names that were on KJR include Larry Lujack, Pat O’Day, Dick Curtis, Lan Roberts, Scotty Brink, Norm Gregory, KJR Channel…
Lan Roberts & Jimmy Stewart, 1300 KOL Seattle | January 22, 1971
The sounds of Middle-Of-The-Road radio are heard on this recording. Yes, 1300 KOL was a Top 40 station and for a while did compete with KJR “Channel 95”. But surely not the same way. The show host is Lan Roberts but the real star attraction here is famous actor Jimmy Stewart! I don’t know the…
Charlie Brown & Ty Flint, 93.3 KUBE Seattle | February 26, 1988 (corrected)
Please Scroll to the bottom of this post for an important announcement And just when you’ve got the Persian Gulf mastered, we got new stuff out of Panama Curator’s Notes: The first Gulf War is underway and it does make the news and morning show here, in an era when it still was okay to…
Bob Case, Afternoon Drive, KUBE Seattle | July 1992
I’m Al Voss. Here in Ventura County, about 45 miles north of L.A., we get a taste of small market and large. I’ve collected quite a few stations over the years. I got your address from (a) friend, and thought you might enjoy a few efforts. So starts the letter included with the first of…

Date of Recording: December 27, 1975 Station: 950 KJR Seattle, Washington Featured Air Talent: Tracy Mitchell, Merle Bear, Chris Hill (News/Weather) Contributor: Robyn Watts Aircheck Entry: 1,416 Comments: How did the old KJR on 950 AM sound in the mid-1970s? Here’s a great representation! No jingles, out of news into music cold, dead segues but…
Buck Ritchie, KAYO “Country KO” 1150 Seattle | Sometime 1964
From the Aircheck trader’s board at our co-located sister site, Radioinsight.com comes this super-old and very rare aircheck of Country station KAYO 1150 Seattle. This is a scoped recording, however, very noticable while editing this down from the original, this morning show was very sold out… plus, notice (especially you kids…), this is NOT a…
Larry Lujack, KJR Seattle | 1966
From a CD donated to us back in our first year online, here’s the late Larry Lujack from before the Windy City ever knew him. This is a very energetic “Uncle Lar”, full of energy and one liners. No wonder WLS was eager to hire him after his time at “Channel 95”. KJR today is…
