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…
Larry Scott; The Time Machine, 66 WNBC New York | September 6, 1987 6:30 – 7:30 PM
Larry Scott’s got the perfect radio ‘voice’, don’t you think? Every Time Machine program, WNBC seems to be airing a new, different PAMS jingle. Some are used frequently, such as the Chime jingle and the “Oh, the Weather’s On…” Jingle. Others seem to come out of nowhere. WABC in the 1960s ran hundreds of jingles…
Jim Jeffrey & Rick Reinhardt, WAVE 970 Louisville | December 21, 1977 6pm – 12am
Recorded just before Christmas 1977, WAVE 970 is here an Adult Contemporary station that today no longer exists. There’s lots of news – NBC Network and local news by Mary McCarthy filling in for Tyler Cox and a later part of news with Norm West. The jocks are NOT part of a morning show, rather,…
Suitcase Simpson, WTAE “96 Kicks” Pittsburgh | January 31, 1977
This aircheck is somewhat confusing. The call letters are used at the top of the hour legal ID only. The station sometimes calls itself 96 KX, and other times 96 Kicks. And as if listeners weren’t confused enough, there’s a sweeper midway through using the slogan “Two Letter Radio – KX”. Boy, am I confused!…
Sgt. Pepper 20th Anniversary Radio Special, KZOK Seattle | May 31, 1987
Classic Rock 102.5 KZOK Seattle aired this Rock Radio special on the 20th Anniversary of the release of The Beatles’ Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album. There were many of these kinds of specials produced for AOR and Classic Rock stations in the 80s and 90s. This is very well produced, featuring interviews with…
Sample: 103.3 KCRS “Kiss-FM”, Midland/Odessa TX | January 27, 2002
Recorded the same day as an aircheck of 100.7 KHYS, another Clear Channel “Kiss-FM” branded CHR from Abilene, TX, we stay in the Lone Star State for this, slightly longer ‘check of KCRS. The difference between these two stations primarilly is that KHYS at 100.7 changed formats to Rock some time ago. KCRS is still…
100.7 KHYS “Kiss-FM” Abilene TX | January 27, 2002
Apparently recorded in the wee hours of a Sunday morning, Kiss-FM is jockless for the first few minutes of this scope. The final breaks feature Kid Kelly’s syndicated “Backtracks USA” 80s flashback show. KHYS here is typical of Clear Channel Communications’ Kiss-branded CHR stations. The playlist is a mainstream mix of R&B, Pop and Rock…
