Randy Robins on 79 WQXI Atlanta | 1969
Back to the 60s for some peachy radio from 1969! This one came in on reel and the audio is stunning - for an AM station! Scoped as always, WQXI is sporting PAMS jingles, some great tunes and tons of commercials. Check out the one for Burger King!
Fans of 60s Atlanta radio will surely remember Randy Robins as a great southern jock with lots of one-liners.
8/9/05 - News! - Randy has checked in and left some comments so be sure to read them. I fixed the misspelling of his last name - hey, I only go by what’s written on the tape!

I was surprised to hear Roby Yonge in the last three minutes of the aircheck doing a spot for a movie. Roby was at WABC then.
I think I also heard a spot with The Real Don Steele about a minute later.
Wow! and people say that WABC played too many commercials back in the day. don’t get me wrong, this aircheck was loads of fun to listen to, but they played two commercials after almost every song. Even in their hay day WABC didn’t play commercials after every single song.
flattered to see my aircheck listed but my name was spelled with an extra b.also i don’t have any old airchecks and wanted to hear this,but when i click on nothing happens.whats up with that.
Randy, do you have the Real Player installed on your computer? You need it to hear the airchecks.
If that’s not the problem, try clearing your browser’s cache. All these airchecks are encoded to stream flawlessly on a 28.8k dialup modem, so everyone can hear them.
I just clicked on the link and it works, not sure what the issue is on your end.

Ok -all you Texans need to come out of the shadows and put something in here about “Big R” !!!! This is one of the guys that made me want to be a DJ. I answered his phones for the Top 7 at 9 at Quixie before entering the Navy in 1970 and later got the chance to DJ’d with him at Lake 102 in North Atlanta in 2001. He’s a funny guy and I wish someone would wise up and hire him somewhere. Randy….Very entertaining. I got your number brother ….and I’ll talk to you soon.
Randy Just Rocks
Loved him here, but at Lake 102 fm in buford he was the only jock with real talent.
I had the pleasure of signing for the transmitter while I did production when Randy was on the air at WQXI. I eventally did all nights at quizie. I wish some of you had the pleasure of knowing his children or knew what a dedicated father he is. Its too bad the folks in Atlanta radio don’t try harder to get him back on the air.
Hello Dave Weiss !!! I was working at Quixie in 69 answering the phones for the Top 7 at 9 for Randy while you were doing all nights. Bubba was my nickname. You took me in the production studio and we cut me an aircheck. Later worked with Randy at Lake 102 in Buford doing all nights on weekends. I am the contributor of these airchecks which I made just for fun back then - not knowing how much pleasure they would bring others by being posted here. Later.

Hey, does anybody have any airchecks of Brother Love at WQXI, 1969-1971? Followed Randy Robins, 9-midnight. Anyone….??
Alan - I need to talk to you or get an e mail address for you. Randy is right here on this site !!!! Randy and I speak quite often. I think I have some airtime of Brother Love too !! karl.phillips@ricoh-usa.com
Hi Brother, Randy and weese-wise! LOL You guys were great to work with back in the heyday day of
personality radio. I guess we didn’t realize how good Quixie was until it was gone. Wow, what memories.
