Webmaster’s Corner: A Baseball Fan’s Dream – Attending Media Day at Fenway
This falls under the category of geeky sports fan. In 1988, I was a board op for P&S Broadcasting’s 700 WPNS. The call letters – I’ll get to that story in a moment… Because we were a member of Campbell Sports Network so that we had broadcasting rights to air the Boston Red Sox, the…
1110 KRLA Pasadena – 1972 Jingle Montage
Here’s a cool set of station jingles that I put into a montage. It was sent in on an unlabelled Maxell UR 60 cassette, with only one thing written on the case, “KRLA Jingles 1972”. The only other station that I remember ever having similar jingles was 1020 KDKA Pittsburgh. It might have been from…
Jingle Mixdown – 104.5 WFMP Fitchburg Mass, 1979
The station currently known as WXLO 104.5 FM is a Hot AC station which targets the greater metro area of Worcester, Mass, and to a lesser extent, the northern Worcester County communities of Fitchburg and Leominster. Its current signal is enormous, heard just outside of Boston, north into central New Hampshire and west as far…
Airchexx Presents: The WLS Jingle Montage
Courtesy of Contributor and Featured Jock Allen Beebe… Jingle freaks, this is as close to heaven as one can get! Starting with the first Top 40 jingle package, An Anita Kerr package, if I recall correctly, this blows through many of the major jingles heard on WLS from 1960 through the talkradio years! Whether you…
1979 Northeast Jingle Montage
This is very short but included on a tape contributed by Big Apple Airchecks is this 3 1/2 minute clip of just jingles. This isn’t the best quality, but all were recorded off the air and taken from assorted airchecks. The only two I recognize as not being from the New England area are WGAR…
Willie Mitchell; John McKay – 105.9 WIGY Bath/Brunswick Me | July 1979
How many people knew there was something up in central Maine other than Elk, Moose and Deer? All kidding aside, this is the first aircheck we have of the Brunswick market, and it’s true classic Top 40 all the way! Big Apple Airchecks submitted this long scope of Willie Mitchell and John McKay that appears…
Christopher Allen, 990 WTIG “Country 99” Massillon OH | December 2, 1988
Another Akron/Canton market area AM station that was still playing music in 1988 – WTIG was known as “Country 99”, and was a full-service Country station serving the local community with live jocks and the standard Country music fare, including syndicated programming… If the Top 40 world had “American Top 40” featuring Casey Casem, the…
Steve Cherry, Gary James; WQMX “Mix 95” Medina, OH | April 13, 1989
The former WDBN is showcased in this short scope of the then reasonably new AC format known as “Mix 95”. The station does have liners indicating that they are on 94.9, although interestingly enough, they don’t seem interested in calling themselves by their proper frequency. Listeners apparently had no problem finding the station on the…
