Dave Diamond, 610 KFRC San Francisco | 1970
A KFRC original tape is featured this time around. The tape is worn, with a lot of white noise that even with noise reduction tools, I couldn’t remove too much without this sounding like it being played under water. Still, cleaned up and brightened up as much as possible, here’s as close a representation we…
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…
Larry Lujack in the Morning, 89 WLS Chicago | September, 1970 Reloaded
We re-post this today on the occasion of Larry Lujack’s passing on December 18, 2013 after a lengthy battle with cancer. You can read his obituary from the Chicago Tribune online Newspaper HERE, or the ABC 7 story HERE Perhaps one of the greatest jocks to ever come out of the AM Top 40 era,…
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.…
Wolfman Jack, 1090 XERB Rosarito Beach, Baja California, Mexico | April 12, 1970
Contributor Steven Green had this transferred from one of his reels – prized posession, we suspect :). This is an original recording of Wolfman Jack, made in the Spring of 1970. Authentic AM static, Southern California commercials and XERB jingles are all included! Its surprising this hasn’t turned up somewhere before now, but our contributor…
Chuck Wilder, 1600 KWOW Pomona | 1970
Rodney Manning Frye is the real name behind the genius of Chuck Wilder. A personality who has remained steady throughout the years, Wilder today can be heard on CRN Digital Talk Radio. A quick check of what happened to KWOW reveals that the station started on July 22, 1947 with the call letters KPMO, becoming…
Rosko (Bill Mercer): A “Trip” Into Progressive Rock – 102.7 WNEW-FM New York | December 16, 1970
What does one do with a tape which has no liner notes, few markings and one typewritten label which says ‘Rosko WNEW-FM 12/16/70’? Well, if you’re me, you post it on Airchexx.com. Trouble is, while this absolutely is Rosko (Bill Mercer), there’s not one mention of the radio station call letters, no mention of time,…
Chris Edwards, WDEN (AM) Macon GA | 1970
This is the Grady Spires show, and filling in here is Chris Edwards. We don’t know much about radio in Macon, GA, much less WDEN AM and FM. But it’s obvious that someone went to a great deal of trouble in making a professional scope of this Country music station. We’re guessing the year on…
