Shotgun Tom Kelly, WGCL G98 Cleveland | January 3, 1975
G98 Playin Less Commercials and More Boogie… The 70s sure had their share of economic difficulties, eh? Even here in 1975, stations are basing some of their promotions around people having hard times. This opens with just such a contest. This is a short recording of Shotgun Tom Kelly on the old G98. This station…
The Howard Clark Show, 610 KFRC San Francisco | November 25, 1966
It seems like it was ALWAYS Para Camero time at KFRC in the 60s. Here’s the Big 610 on Thanksgiving Day playing the All-Time Top 300. Its amazing to hear the Drake sound once again… with Bill Drake voicing a dry Top Hour Legal ID. There was no reverb on KFRC, but the station was…
Ed Baer for B. Mitchell Reed, 570 WMCA New York | July 31, 1964
“Swingin’ With The Good Guys…” The BMR show with the Big Bad Bear! WMCA was in heated competition with WABC during this time, and the station was captializing on the Beatles as much as anyone. Listen for the announcement of the Beatles arriving in a few days at Kennedy Airport. WMCA had hoped to be…
Boston Sampler #1: WRKO / WVBF
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis, here’s a wonderful composite featuring two of Boston’s legendary Top 40 stations. It starts with Harry Nelson on WRKO, then moves on into the wierdest thing your webmaster’s heard come out of a radio (and I’ve heard a lot of strange things over the years). WVBF apparently has just tweaked…

For those of you familiar with AOR FM radio in the late 70s and 80s, remember how when most other commercial radio stations were broadcasting either church services or some other public affairs programming to fulfill the governments public service requirements? Many Album Rock stations took this opportunity to run the truly bizzare or fun…
Rock 101-9 WRXP New York: Farewell, Part 3 | July 14, 2011
This starts out with an emotional Steve Craig saying his farewell as the Rock Show comes to a final conclusion. A quick legal ID & a couple of songs, and the rest of the day picks up, as WRXP goes out with a bang. A couple of quick notes here. First, it is kind of…
New York’s 101.9 FM Reinvents itself as WEMP “101-9 FM New”: Sample, 8/5/11
How we got here… doesn’t really matter anymore. One can get really confused trying to figure out why a station is programmed to be as it is. Take this new WEMP. Rumored to be a future FM News station, 101-9 FM New (WITHOUT the S) is caught in an hour long news segment at about…
