Bud Ballou, 105.7 WVBF Framingham (Boston) | June, 1973
Bud Ballou was a memorable radio air personality to many in Boston, and also in Syracuse, where he worked for a long time before going to Boston. While we could go down the list of radio stations he was at, this aircheck is far too short. Besides. His bio is available elsewhere. Here’s a minute…
Harry Nelson, 94.5 WZOU Boston | March 7, 1987
The all-new Z94 was really hot at this point, although not exactly ‘new’. WZOU came along in late 1984 from the ashes of Album Rocker turned Soft-AC WCOZ, and called itself 94-5 “The Zoo”. Z94 was a re-branding to help better compete with crosstown CHR’s WHTT HitRadio 103 and WXKS-FM “Kiss 108“. Inevitably, it didn’t…

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…
QuickCheck: J.J. Wright, WXKS-FM Kiss-108 FM Boston | 1990

Wright sounds great on this all-too-short recording. This is from an era of great sweepers and very tasty jingles. Wish there was more… This tape is from one of…
