13 Waves sported some of the best talent in the U.S., and this 8 minute profile from 1976 showcases the talents of such names as Paul “the Morning Mayor”, Midday guy Tom Morgan, “The Chucker” (who narrates this profile), Afternoon personality John E. Walker, Night guy Mike West (WGNG Providence, WTIC-FM Hartford), Sunshine 10pm-2am and Early morning she-jock Lise.

Back by popular demand, another great recording of 70s powerhouse 13 WAVZ New Haven. Who woulda thunk this AM station on the Connecticut shoreline would generate such interest? There’s a long list of alumni who frequent the other WAVZ posts on this website, and our longtime site friend and contributor, Andy Bologovsky decided to contribute more. Andy writes:
“Enclosed are a couple of WAVZ goodies from my ‘Vault’ for your website.”
I think you’ll enjoy John E. Walker from 12/1975 (Check out the incredible processing on that signal!). Hope the recordings bring out even MORE listener comments on the website!
Enjoy, Andy B.
This is a long aircheck. Its a “Motown Weekend” and they go back to the 60s a lot, but listen for PLENTY of 70s commercials, tunes and chatter from Walker, who sounds more like he belongs on New York’s 99x (WXLO) than in New Haven, but this Kopps-Monahan station was at the top of its game during this period – and no wonder!
This is a real gem. Thanks Andy!
