Composite: WZAT Z102 Savannah | Summer, 1991
For our first look at the Savannah GA market, we’ll turn back the hands of time to 1991 and what is now a Hot AC station (one of many which were once CHR). Some GREAT talent is heard here, including Chio The Hitman (Z-100) & Ralphie (his last show on this aircheck)…
You’ll hear plenty of excitement, JAM’s then Z-100 package, lots of phones and it’s all personality hit radio!

Hi Steve,
This was a series of airchecks of some of the air talent that graced Z-102’s airwaves when they were a true CHR powerhouse BRR (before Rock Radio). Z-102 dumped the CHR format the first time around in 1993 and went Album Rock for several years. As much as I hate to admit they were successful at it (they were #1 12+).
In 1998, Cumulus bought the station from Gulf-Atlantic Media and flipped it back to CHR. They had been a complete mess ever since.
Anyway, some of the air talent featured here was:
Spanky McFarland (Went to Z-100/New York after leaving Z-102. Shortly afterwards, he passed away from pneumonia)
Stanley T. Evans (Went to Power 99/Philadelphia)
Chio The Hitman (Went to Q106/San Diego, Z100/New York, and Q102/Philly)
Ralphie On The Radio (Left for WOWI/Norfolk)

Sounds like the first two cuts are from the 80s, because Stanley T. was at Power 99 by early 1990.
Thanks so much for the Spanky piece. I tried for a couple of years after he died to find some of his Z102 airchecks but could only find some of his last Z100 breaks. It’s great to hear him again.
Judging from the “new” music, the Spanky stuff was from late 1986. He went to Z-100 around Feb of 1987, and passed away in March of 1988. And the Stanley T. breaks wewre from early 1990, judging from the “new” music.
Great stuff.
Where in the world did you get these airchecks? I like them, but where did you get them?
