The End is always a sad event, but here, the outgoing airstaff at WAVA had a party and took the Washington market’s legendary CHR station out in style!
Instead of writing about the night, you should just listen… I do have a ’surprise’ that I’ll add into this presentation a bit later… so bookmark this aircheck.
This features the last night from 6 – 11pm, but does not include the last hour staff goodbye and format change… that’ll come later.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this. I remember my brother telling me that the Post had an article about WAVA ending its run as a top 40 station, and I dismissed him, thinking it was just Casey Kasem’s show they were ending. Sure enough, I tuned in the enxt day to find that WAVA was no more. Thanks for letting me finally listen to the last day.
Incidentally, the final hour can be found here: http://www.reelradio.com/tktk/index.html#wava92
WOW! I was in thrid grade when WAVA went off the air…..I was the little unpopular kid that no one liked and I remember coming home and turning on the radio and how good WAVA made me feel.
FEB 12, 1992 I came home from school, turned on the radio and when i relized that WAVA was going off the air I couln’t bleive it…….thanks for posting this…it has really brought back memories!
