Description courtesy of new contributor Chris Johnson:
This is my oldest air check of WBBF Rochester. Recorded on a Christmas holdiay break from college I began recording Rochester radio airchecks to take back to school to share with my fellow college radio station friends. This check is of mid-day jock Tim Griffin doing a Sunday afternoon shift in 1972. It was recorded the Sunday after New Years … you can hear his comment about “a little bit belated” after the “Happy New Year’s” jingle. Griffin is one of my all time favorite jocks … when I was first on air he is who I fashioned my “style” after.

I remember Tim Griffen and his TIMMY POWER show, good DJ and a good guy.
I grew up on BBF, I even “hung out” up at 850 midtown a few evenings to sit in with FJ III and Lanny Frattare doing their shows autumn ‘71that’s
how I learnes to cue records on the old BBF spartan turntables….courtesy of Lanny, but it was cool for a 15 year old kid to actually sit in the little 8 by 8 DJ studio watchin the DJ’s do their thing…on that old 3 pot mixer with the VU
meter sticking up the top of the console and the old RCA sk-50 microphone ( See I really was there
Anyway fond memories of the old Jack Palvino/Larry White PD days @ BBF Thanks for posting this one-got anymore BBF,WAXC or FM99 samples???
