Harry Nelson, 98.7 WXLO New York | December, 1977
Active on Facebook (so you can contact him), Nelson has been in radio for a very long time. Much of it was with RKO-General’s chain of radio stations. His resume includes radio stations like WRKO Boston, KFRC San Francisco, WJBQ Portland Maine, WROR Boston, and even a stay at WXLO “99X” New York! As heard…
Quickcheck: Sue O’Neil, WXLO 99X New York | Winter 1978
From contributor Brian Redman – a reasonably hi-fi recording of Sue O’Neil on 99X. We’re not sure of the date but considering there’s ice and snow its a safe bet that we’re talking about the Winter of ’78. At a whole 58 SECONDS long, this is the shortest aircheck on our site! This starts with…
Walt Baby Love, 98.7 WXLO New York | May 17, 1974
Walt Baby Love is BACK! Literally – Here’s 30 minutes of 99X, RKO General’s Q format, New York FM style on a station known and loved for generations after its heyday. Do you know that Elton John was once a DJ on 99X? Its true! In the Summer of 1975, Sir Elton was a guest…
Don Reegan, 98.7 WXLO New York | November, 1972
October 23, 1972 may not stand out as anything memorable. Its not a day that lives in infamy. It’s someone’s birthday out there, for sure (Happy birthday, to whomever this concerns!). In our case, it is the date we’ve been searching for. On 10/23/72, RKO General changed the call letters of its New York radio…
Dave Thompson, 98.7 WXLO “99X” New York | August, 1974
Publishing slightly out of order, now, here’s another chapter in the exciting story of Dave Thompson and his job. At 99X! Listen as Dave swings through the jingle as Tarzan wearing a set of General Tires! Okay, perhaps thats over dramatic. General Tire commercials are an ongoing theme on most WXLO, and for that matter,…
QuickChexx: Dave Thompson, 98.7 WXLO “99X” New York | 1975
Dave Thompson is the subject of this short clip of 99X during a time when RKO’s FM station was beginning to apply serious pressure to ratings king WABC. It would take four more years and a different station to knock off 77 Radio but one of the early major players was this station. WXLO, here,…
Don Geronimo on WXLO 99X New York | 1976
From the heyday of New York’s 99X, comes this aircheck featuring up and coming Don Geronimo (of Don & Mike fame). Geronimo went on to work at WPGC Washington DC, and later WAVA Arlington (VA) before ending up at WJFK doing syndicated talk. Compare this with the WAVA aircheck elsewhere on this site and see…
Pete Stevens, 104.5 WXLO Fitchburg/Worcester Ma. | May 10, 1998
The similarities between WBMX “Mix 98.5” Boston and 104.5 WXLO out in suburban (Fitchburg) Worcester were striking. Both stations were Hot AC formatted, with the same blend of soft alternative, pop and 80s/90s gold music, and virtually the same on air approach. WXLO was consulted, at least for the second half of the 1980s and…
