Someone commented on another exhibit that it was so nice back in the old days of AM music stations to be able to travel from one city to another and be able to tune into local and regional, live stations, staffed by talented jocks and newsmen. Looking back, these guys put together a sound that sounded great. Perhaps that’s how you’ll feel listening to this aircheck of Newsman Dave Lieber and Deejay Joe Cunningham on the Big 64.
What I find interesting about this is not so much the format, are the songs in the playlist. These are NOT the same junk tunes we hear over and over ad-nauseum on today’s Oldies or Classic Hits stations. Webmaster’s disclaimer: Full length songs are edited out to comply with copyright law. You only hear a few seconds at the beginning and end.
Included: A partial report on the 1970 Indy 500 in progress that day in a rain delay, and live commercial reads (who does that anymore?)

Good point on local AM radio back in the day. What fun it was driving into different cities big and small to hear live local programming and deejays an music different from town to town. Now AM is the same whereever you go, syndicated talk, sports talk, religion and spainish. No live jocks. You cant even get a weather forecast on weekends! And on the FM dial oldies and Classic Rock play the same beat up top 10. On this aircheck is the Fortunes “Same old Feeling”. When is the last time you heard that song on your” Good times, great oldies syndicated satellite oldies channel.
