Don K. Reed, “The Do-Wop Shop”, WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | February 5, 1989
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis. Looking back, its amazing that one of the most popular programs in the history of the legendary CBS-FM was cancelled in 2002. But, considering the plans being formulated in the formerly smoke filled upper rooms of CBS Corporate brass for the future of WCBS-FM, its understandable. The first incarnation of…
Mark Driscoll, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | April 5, 1971
Like so many other recordings of WOR-FM, this one suffers from tape age. Still, it’s good enough to hear Mark Driscoll and the Boss sound of Bill Drake’s handiwork in New York. This was his first try at the “Boss Radio” sound both on the East Coast and on FM. WOR-FM would morph into a…
Les Davis, 1560 WQEW New York | October 15, 1998
After the demise of Big Band and Standards on the old WNEW AM “Eleven Three Oh”, a group of jocks approached the ownership of Classical WQXR about starting up a Standards format to fill the void left by WNEW. What happened next was a wonderful warm station with glowing personalities and a format that to…
Margaret Jones, 97 WYNY New York | Autumn 1979
Contributor Ray Bozzanca was one of many fans of the late Margaret Jones, as evidenced by this letter sent by her in response to our contributor’s writing to her. Ray wrote: Attached is the letter Margaret sent to me along with her signed photo from 1979.I spoke to Margaret on the phone while she was…
Dan Ingram, WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | September 8, 2002: 1 – 3 PM
…”I guess in Hawaii they believe in sex. I know I do! (laughter) Sent in by Contributor Ray Bozzanca (who gave us more Dan Ingram than probably anybody else), here’s one that’s been awaiting posting here on Airchexx for a couple of years. Dan Ingram is synonymous with Top 40 Radio. In fact, he’s considered…
Gregg Thunder, 97.1 WQHT “Hot 97” New York | Summer, 1989
It’s been a long while since we visited the fabulously enormous Robyn Watts collection! This is technically un-dated, however based upon the music and one sweeper we believe it to be from June or July 1989. Our visitors are very good guessers, I’m sure this mystery will be solved rather soon. 🙂 Gregg Thunder is…
Jere Sullivan, 97.1 WYNY New York | 1980
Courtesy of Contributor Ray Bozzanca we have another classic from the old “New York 97” WYNY from it’s AC format at 97.1. There’s really no way to tell what the exact date is, but we know it’s from 1980. In sending this along, Ray had just written to describe what he recorded his airchecks on:…
Jack Scott, The Time Machine; 66 WNBC New York | September 6, 1987 7:30-8:30 PM
It’s more Time Machine more often! Here’s another segment of the Top 66 of the 1960s countdown with Jack Scott. This one sounds a little slow (which means the source tape was recorded a little bit faster than normal). So, yes, Jack Scott’s voice seems an octive lower (It’s not). There are more great PAMS…
