Al Gates, Morning Drive, WRKO AM/FM Boston | June 19, 1967
Al Gates is featured in this excellent copy of then-new Bill Drake WRKO. Interesting items on this recording are reverb, which sounds fantastic and not overdone and a simulcast with its FM sister station on 98.5. Historic mentions (Bostonians will especially remember) Curt Gowdy doing sports… although he’s not heard, just announced during news. Gates…
Jackson Armstrong, 1050 CHUM Toronto | 1967
Perhaps it was the PAMS signature jingles, the incredible music, the enormous audience or just the mystique surrounding this radio station. But for a time in the 1960s and 70s, no other station in Toronto touched its listeners the way 1050 CHUM did. One of radio’s greats is featured on this worn but wonderful aircheck.…
Rodney Manning Fry (correction); Last Show, 550 KCRS Midland | October 8, 1967
Longtime contributor Jeffrey Holland is quite familiar with the subject of this aircheck. Holland has been friends with Rodney Manning Fry (corrected) for a long time. Long enough to have this vintage 1960s recording of Frye’s final show on 550 KCRS. As Holland wrote when sending these in on CD, “(This is) straight off the…
Rick Shaw, 560 WQAM Miami | December 20, 1967
Aircheck courtesy of Contributor Larry Stoler Often times when researching the legacies of classic radio stations, we don’t come across much valuable information. Its times like this when the audio we post must speak for itself. This aircheck is all about the hits of 1967 and the air talents of Rick Shaw. The burning question…
Legacy of KFRC: The Top 40 Years – 1966-1986
Contributor Ron Hummel sent in a wonderful documentary narrated by the great Bobby Ocean which chronicles the Big 610 from its humble beginnings out of the sleepy Don Lee era through the final days as a Top 40 station. While the original disc was inclusive 1966 to 1991, KFRC 610 was only Top 40 until…
Steve Robbins, WKNR “Keener 13” Detroit | January 1967
Not too many Keener airchecks floating around these days but here’s one in incredible audio fidelity! Right off the master reel is a composite of Steve Robbins, not heard anywhere else. Keener was Detroit’s ‘other’ Top 40 station, always in the shadow of CKLW across the river in Windsor Ontario, but WKNR had a very…
Chuck Knapp, 680 WRKO Boston | April, 1967
Tape recordings are an amazing thing. Someone hit the ‘record’ button at random, and at times, such as this, we get to hear something quite amazing. That this tape survived all these years is amazing in and of itself! Recorded just about a month after the launch of Top 40 WRKO from the ashes of…
Composite: KJR Seattle “Channel 95” | 1966-1970
Much of this is original material donated in the Summer of 2002, in our first year on the web. Contributor Rhett Walker was there, and he remembers the fun at KJR fondly. A couple of segments in this have been available elsewhere on the web, other parts haven’t seen the light of day until now.…
