Minneapolis CHR WARS 2: Bill Lee on 99 1/2 WLOL, 1985

Fresh from KFRC, Bill Lee (Lenke at WTIC-FM) is showcased here, a bit less rhythmic than at both the aforementioned stations. Still, one of the most talented and lightning fast thinkers (either that or one hell of a lot of show prep notes) is Lee, who is rapidly becoming of airchexx.com’s most popular jocks!

This is part one of another star-studded edition of CHR WARS… Distributed by Florida-based East Coast Airchecks, this was another great contribution from Robyn Watts! Where’s Minneapolis CHR WARS 1? Probably still among the 300 or so tapes we still haven’t gone through!

99.5 WLOL, Circa 1985

    unbelieveable!! Never heard anyone think so fast to put rhymes together and make them fit with his format. why cant these stations be like this today? Instead they hire a company come in and tell you what you should be playing? What do you need a progam director for then? Music should come from inside just like these stations in the 80’s. Todays radio borrrring!!! Lets get these stations and jocks back the way it used to be!!! and please can we stop with the rap up in the club puffin on bud and down grading women!! Enough is enough of that small mentality

    The one thing that stands out rather than Lee’s rhymes is the fact that ‘LOL, like many other radio stations, was serving its area by keeping people on the alert about severe weather, as evidenced on this aircheck. Good show all around…

    I’m mowin’ what yer growin’ Sammy! Boss jockin’ was boss! The 80s saw the last vestiges of what originated in the 50s — I doubt the listening audience today would know what hit them if they brought it back. Thank gawd we’ve got the airchecks to wax nostalgic with!

    They ruled in the early 90s. I lost the tape that had the goodbye rap they did before they went off the air. Ill never forget them days :)

    I cant stand KDWB.

    This was great to listen to some Classic Bill Lee !! whats funny about the Minnapolis stop for Bill for about a year Former KFRC’er Mark Mckay was doing afternoons at KDWB, they both bailed out of the city by the bay and headed for the twin cities. Mark and Bill were very good friends at KFRC aswell as neighbors at there condo complex in the Bay Area. Mark left KDWB in the sumemr of 84′ to head back to be apart of KMEL 106.
