Big Dog Big Ron O'Brien, KZDG Denver | Mothers Day, 1993

A great jock can do any format, as proven here by Big Ron O’Brien.. heard here doing COUNTRY, of all things! But this is Big Ron and the approach is the same no matter what kind of music he plays. That personality just comes out.

Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s a side of Ron O’Brien we bet you never heard before… on a station, like the country fad of the mid-90s, is also gone, Big Dog Country!

Dave Otto on KALC "Alice 105-9″ Denver, Night Show | June 30, 2006

A radio station with a name – ALICE. Well, surely its a long way from Alice’s Restaurant but Arlo Guthrie would probably like this if he were listening today. Imagine, a live night show on a younger-skewing Adult Contemporary station. Thats what we have here, although one might suspect this is more of an audition for a GOOD sounding talent formerly employed elsewhere in the market.

Okay, you listeners of pseudo-Top 40. Is this not pretty much the same fare as available in the same genre in any top 50 market? Well, maybe… perhaps better, if one considers the sound of New York City radio, which we find terribly bland today. Alice is upbeat, has character, and likes to gossip. But we’re STILL amazed at the sheer volume of Kelly Clarkson music in rotation. I mean, come on, American Idol ™ winner, sure. But really, we thought she had huge talent? That’s what we all thought about the Spice Girls back in the 90s.

Overall this is a very good representation of this Entercom station doing its best to compete. Dave Otto is really a great talent… and unlike Ryan Seacrest, this guy has some pipes!!! We love it. Over 3 hours of a virgin recording scoped down to ONE full hour. We’d love you to listen for the whole hour, just don’t let the boss catch you with headphones on at your desk

Loren Owens on KIMN "Denver 95″ | April 2, 1979

Here’s the longtime host of the current “Loren and Wally” morning show in Boston, at his prior gig in Denver. Owens has this really dry sense of humor that is evident in parts of this aircheck showcasing his morning show on KIMN.

Morning shows were quite different back in ‘79, just one guy doing a show filled with time & weather checks, full newscasts, traffic, etc… but not the Hollywood updates and other senseless babble that fills shows today. Owens really shines as a jock doing a morning gig here, and the same style is evident currently at 105.7 WROR Boston – only he adds a lot more comedy into the routine today. This is fun listening – at 19 minutes you really get a feel for KIMN and life in Denver!

Sampler: Soft Rock KIMN-FM 98 Denver | 1977

KIMN-FM was one of those all-too-popular “Soft Rock” FMs. Seems most of the large markets had one, and they were just one step above Beautiful Music, only with soft album cuts and a few soft hits. Actually, they were extremely popular for a time.

This is a *short* clip of Soft Rock 98 in 1977. And Denver was very chilled…
