Chio “The Freakin’ Puerto Rican” Bonilla on WHTZ Z-100 New York | 1990
Most people would agree - Z-100 was and is the biggest & best Top 40 station ever in the Big Apple, next to WABC. And, considering that WABC was only Top 40 for 22 years (only?), Z has been doing CHR just as long - 22 years, starting in 1983, and thus has created it’s own New York City heritage.
Here’s a guy who sounds strangely like another CHR jock from the 80s, M.J. Kelli - who did his thing nights on WGH-FM Newport News, VA earlier, in 1987. Or, more accurately, Kelli (aka Todd Schnitt) sounded like Bonilla - no matter, this aircheck is so hot you can burn up your computer!
Bonilla opens his first break by rapping– apparently his own NYC rap about Z-100 and things heat up from there. He’s really got two identities for his listeners: Chio “The Hitman” and Chio “The Freakin’ Puerto Rican”. Check out Ernie Anderson’s Top of the Hour custom ID for Bonilla - it’s a hoot!
This one’s in lowband stereo, so turn your PC speakers up LOUD!
Another, from the fabulous Robyn Watts Collection!
