Recorded from Denmark Via Satellite: Tim Byrd & Sue O’Neal on WQHT “Hot 97″ New York | 1990
We get contributors from all over the world, it seems, and now thanks to Rene´ Bjorngaard, we get a superb recording of The Birdman and our site friend Sue O’Neal (WVBF / WXLO) from sometime in 1990.
Rene’ explains how he got this aircheck:
I am writing to you from Denmark in Europe (Yes, the European Union J ), and I have the last couple of month been digitalizing my collection of tapes, which most obviously contains Danish radioshows from the last 20 years or so. But However I felt over one special tape, which I almost forgot I had. It is an recording from N.Y radio WQHT from approximately 1990, which was
distributed over Europe by the astra satellite. Unfortunately I didn´t know what an special station I had access to, and therefore I only have this single tape L. The Dj´s on the tape is Tim Byrd, and Sue O’Neil. I have this session cut down to a regular aircheck, without music, but with
commercials with a total playtime of 23 min.
I find this totally amazing that American Radio was and still is very popular across much of Europe, and now with internet access, around remote areas of the globe. If you’re from anywhere outside of North America, we’d sure like to hear some of YOUR radio stations, especially if they broadcast in English.
Our special thanks to Rene’ Bjorngaard in Denmark for this really GREAT recording of Hot 97.
