Airchexx.com Remembers 101.1 WCBS-FM New York: Max Kinkel – March 24, 1994
Courtesy of Steve Green, here’s The Maxman on CBS-FM! Notice how much Kinkel does with sports! This aircheck features a great caller bit at about :35 minutes in.
You site is terrific. I’m listening to your WCBS-FM link right now featuring Max Kinkel. I really wish CBS FM would bring him back. I know he’s still recovering from a bad rear ending a year ago, but I hear he’s feeling much better and has had had several recent offers. I recently spoke to him, and I could tell he wants to be back on CBS. I sent an e-mail to the President of CBS Radio, Dan Mason, suggesting he bring him back. The station knows what his ratings were when he was on, and the ultimate profit he brought to the station. Perhaps if you know something, you can let me know. Also, could you tell me if you have an aircheck or tape of any shows from Hank Spann (aka The Soul Server) – when he was on WWRL in NY in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I’m looking for that, and willing to pay a fee.
I worked with Max many years ago at WBAX 1240 AM, and to this day he has been one of the most influential people in my life. He taught me everything there is to know in the business, and there are no better “pipes” out there!
Like Jim, I was one of the folks who had the honor of working with Max At WBAX — I was his morning news guy. Max was the best at what he did — entertain. Even in the medium market – he was a leader (albeit unappreciated). CBS-FM would be a perfect place to return.
If you're a regular visitor, you'll find Airchexx easier to use. Check out our new features, search for your favorite dj or station, or just use the pulldown menu at the top to just browse through the hundreds of classic radio recordings on this site!
Just remember, you won't find music on these recordings, just the jingles, old commericals and the announcers (deejays and newspersons) who graced the airwaves during the time of these recordings.
