Ok, she'll think you're nuts (unless she's in radio)... Wow, a new Ron Lundy aircheck! From December 1987 comes this glimpse into the station everybody loves! Jeff Moulton sent ... http://airchexx.com/site-updates/whats-new There's a good reason why we don't feature many clips of Oldies stations... usually, they're dull, boring and play the same songs over and over with very little personality. WODS Boston is an exception to this. Like New York's 101.1 WCBS-FM, this CBS-O&O has remained true to the ... http://airchexx.com/contributors/tom-kent/tom-kent-hall-of-fame-coast-to-coast-on-wods-oldies-1033-boston-may-30-2004 From the good ol' days when the reverb was still on and 50s/60s were the station's mainstay, here's a grainy, but great window back to 1987 - when Gotham's radio landscape was so very much different than today.. Voiceguy Charlie Van Dyke says CBS-FM is celebrating it's 15th anniversary as "New ... http://airchexx.com/markets/new-york/ron-lundy-on-101-wcbs-fm-new-york-december-4-1987 Contributor Jeff Moulton is featured on a short 'check he sent into us some time ago. This is Top 40 - AM style, and like most stations of this type, sounded very good at the tail end of the AM top 40 era. The audio is a bit ... http://airchexx.com/contributors/jeff-moulton/jeff-moulton-on-wrun-utica-1979 Another from contributor J.R. Russ, here's Steve York, a guy who sounds a bit more 'authoritative' with his approach to rock music in Chicago. This kinda reminds me of Tony Taylor on WOR-FM, the way he annunciates his words. It's a good representation of how the top 40 ... http://airchexx.com/markets/chicago/steve-york-on-wcfl-chicago-1971 There's no doubt that Ryan Seacrest is a formidable talent, and this almost ten minute scope of him doing PM drive on Modern AC KYSR proves this beyond a doubt. That said, I'm trying to come up with the right words for how I feel about a guy who later would ... http://airchexx.com/markets/los-angeles/ryan-seacrest-on-kysr-star-987-los-angeles-january-5-1999 Our good friend JR Russ down in DC sent this in today and I wanted to share it with you all, as this brings back so many memories of nights with my transistor AM radio back in my youth. Perhaps you too, remember... Before anyone gets too excited, this ... http://airchexx.com/markets/los-angeles/quickcheck-terry-nelson-on-64-kfi-los-angeles-1976 Courtesy of Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks, we have a... well, mysterious aircheck of good quality. Kim Diamond starts out saying she got up in a strange kinda mood so its gonna be one of those kinda shows... she's pretty talented, but we can dig up virtually NOTHING ... http://airchexx.com/markets/san-francisco/kim-diamond-on-kkwv-san-francisco-2004 Proving once again that the life of a radio DJ is filled with one move after another, here's the late Big Ron O'Brien rocking southern California on a miserably hot day at Kiss-FM. Yes, Rick Dees is the morning guy by this time, and O'Brien was making the rounds ... http://airchexx.com/markets/los-angeles/big-ron-obrien-on-1027-kiis-fm-los-angeles-march-1983 How many ways can you use ONE shotgun jingle? Listeners who remember the great 99X WXLO do remember... except for one several month period in 1972 when 98.7 FM morphed into WXLO from the old WOR-FM, WXLO used just ONE shotgun jingle... for about four years. Why change ... http://airchexx.com/markets/new-york/big-ron-obrien-on-wxlo-99x-new-york-winter-1977
