Don Geronimo on WPGC Washington DC | 1980
WPGC today is an Urban station, but back in 1980 it was a very hot top 40 station… and on FM no less! Here, Don Geronimo sounds great, after a stint in New York on 99X. He would later end up at WAVA, along with the likes of Tom Kent and Chris Taylor, among others.…
John Dowling, WPGC AM/FM Morningside (Washington DC) | Sunday, May 27, 1984
Here’s a very different sounding 95 WPGC than the others you’ve heard on this site.

In this 13 minute scope you’ll hear John Dowling (who sounds…
Bob Raleigh Jr., 1580 WPGC Morningside MD | Undated

This station was an AM / FM simulcast even in the ’60s, and there’s even a promo about two thirds of the way through this scoped aircheck prompting listeners to purchase an FM radio…
1580 WPGC Morningside MD | 1960s Undated
Here’s something interesting that came in on a tape labelled simply “DC Radio, ETC..” This is a very high quality recording of the old 1580 WPGC / 95.5 Simulcast from sometime in the mid-1960s. This is really too short to extract much out of. You won’t hear the jock name, but you will get a…
