Composite: 95 1/2 WMET Chicago | March 1977
Who knows what became of this 1970’s FM competitor in the Windy City? Certainly, there’s plenty of personality on 95.5 FM (including ol’ Captain Whammo aka Jim Channel), but the jingles in use are probably the worst ever heard in contemporary radio. I suppose that would be unique enough to keep an audience, but one would think that MET had enough personality playing the hits to give WLS a run for its money. Not being from Chicago, I know next to nothing about WMET other than it existed and that Captain Whammo went on to become a preacher with his own ministry sometime after his MET days.
Come to think of it, the jingles and top 40 approach seems similar to the John Long sound at X-Rock 80 down in Juarez, Mexico… minus the cutsey Mexican female voice 
This composite runs approximately 46 minutes scoped. Its in mono, but pretty clean sounding considering it’s now 31 years old as of this writing. 31 years! wow, was high school that long ago?

All fixed. I forgot to put the link in the playbutton. Thanks for pointing it out.
Awesome aircheck. I remember Captain Whammo. Listen close to this aircheck and you’ll hear a mistake. Jim Channel say “DHF”- well they must have just made the call letter change and old habits die hard. I feel like I’m 17 years old and listening to my radio. Thanks for submitting and posting. YOU ROCK!
The call letters were WDHF. The station was sold to Metromedia and thus the call letter change. Wow I caught a little snipped of Larry Robinson “The Diamond Man” in this aircheck, Haven’t heard him in ages!
