The Final Hour of All-Hit 105 WAVA Arlington | February 12, 1992
Okay, WAVA Alumn Chris Taylor promised this to me over a year ago… he’s been way too busy, sooo, let me introduce the very FIRST official contribution from airhcexx.com’s crack engineer Lance Venta! Thanks, man!
What more can be said about the final hour? This is the FINAL segment of a five-hour scoped aircheck we featured some time ago which is still available here at airchexx.net by clicking here. WAVA was simply amazing! A great CHR station, one of several during that time period including WRQX Q-107 and WBSB Baltimore B-104. It’s all gone now, with WPGC-FM being Urban, WRQX HotAC and 104.3 just through so many format changes it’s hard to keep up.
The final hour of this great station, like the few I’ve heard done, is really enough to make a WAVA fan cry. One of the best ‘farewell’ hours ever recorded!

Quite interesting (and sad)! Although I’ve had a 3rd or 4th generation copy of the “last hour” from the master reel (which was in the package that I’ve sent Steve last year), nothing could top listening to the show from the prospective of what the listeners heard on 2/12/92 from 11 p.m. to 12 midnight on 105.1. As in the case of sister station WLOL/Minneapolis-St. Paul, the transmitter was turned off at the very end.

I couldn’t help but notice that one of the talents featured was a guy named “Irv Harrigan”, which is weird because the only other “Irv Harrigan” I know of was the legendary Ron Chapman’s alias in his early KLIF days. Is this the same Irv or just a coincidence?
Justin: You are correct. The same “Harrigan” of Hudson
and Harrigan fame and partner to Ron Chapman in Dallas.
He was morning host there for a breif time.
