J.R. Russ on WBSB B-104 Baltimore | November 1986

Just sent in from brand new contributor J.R. Russ is this short clip of him on WBSB. J.R. says, “B104, WBSB, Baltimore, 1986. This was a #1 Station programmed by Steve Kingston. J.R. Russ, “utility infielder” for a couple years.”

The days of this monster CHR are long gone, so enjoy this silice of PRIME mid-80s Top 40!

QuickCheck: 105.7 WQSR Baltimore | November 1987

Here’s another example of a great sounding Oldies station. I’m convinced that when the Oldies format really got going in the 80s, programmers really tried to re-create the old top 40 format, at least in the station imaging.

Much like WCBS-FM New York, WQSR tried mixing old and recurrents together and the result really was quite good. Would it work today? Probably not, considering that the difference in music styles is far too wide now to try. Imagine the Beatles into Nelly… yeah, wouldn’t work now.
