Composite: 102.7 WBMX Chicago | December 1986
Those of you from Boston are probably thinking… What the?… Yes, WBMX was a Chicago FM station before the call letters were dropped and subsequently picked up for 98.5 in Boston after they dropped the WROR calls. Confused yet? This aircheck isn’t about format changes. It IS about Chicagoland CHR, with some really good jingles…
The ‘After Hours Joint’ on WMMS Cleveland | August 1986
The unidentified jock in this clip sounds like he’s having a good time, on a show called the After Hours Joint. This is full of rock segues (scoped, of course), and includes a great legal ID… something WMMS was always famous for.
Composite: WGCI AM/FM “Power 107.5” Chicago | December 1986
This one is for the early ‘old skool’ hip hop & r&b fans! WGCI is definitely hot here, and has some great jocks, including Tom Joyner, who is of course a nationally syndicated morning show host today. Here, Joyner (I think) is doing afternoons on WGCI. The whole station really cooks throughout this aircheck. It’s…

With some help from Scotty and the 610s (and their tribute song to the ‘Amazing AM’), Ocean takes the final afternoon drive show out with class. There are some visitors to this…
Dan Shannon, 102.7 WBMX Chicago | 1986
From a cassette labelled Midwest Aircheck MW# 122, Dan Shannon is on the old 102.7 WBMX Chicago. They call this 102-7 the NEW ‘BMX. This is Contemporary Urban, or whatever they were calling the format back then. Mixed in with a lot of crossover Top 40 hits, WBMX had a captive audience in the Dan…
Rick Hunter, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | 1986
New Contributor Rick Hunter’s self-submitted skimmer makes us all yearn for the old 101 WCBS-FM, complete with REAL Oldies music and a roster of the Who’s Who of New York radio broadcasters. Rick Hunter was less known in the 80s but as this QuickCheck shows, he was a natural talent that was going places. After…
Dick Hemby, 750 WSB Atlanta | 1986
Like many of North America’s clear channel (the classification, not the company) stations, WSB’s 50kw signal was and still is heard over half of the United States and into Quebec and Southern Ontario Canada and the Maritimes. WSB was at the time of this recording, still playing music. It was an Adult Contemporary station, with…
