Dennis Dillon, WLFX “X100” Winchester VA (Lexington KY) | 1992

Sometimes it’s exceedingly difficult to dig up much information on an old radio station. This is one of those hard to find stations that went through a number of format changes and call signs over the years. Like most, this station was […]

Flying Bryan & The McDonald’s Top 9 at 9, WOKI ‘I-100’ Oak Ridge (Knoxville) | August, 1992

Less than a year away from flipping to Country, Top 40 WOKI (100.3 Oak Ridge) was in its final CHR incarnation, after trying different slogans such as FM 100 and “Hits 100” before finally coming up with “I-100”. One would think that […]

Composite: 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles, “The New Ten-Q”

Listen to the collection of voices in this long composite! Narrated by Jimi Foxx, this includes the station’s 1976 launch, then continues on to profile the (then) current airstaff and their ratings performance. I’m guessing that this was produced in 1977, perhaps […]

Brian White, “99X”WXLO New York | Sometime 1974

Short enough to be a MICRO-Check, here’s something new Contributor Keith Teicher sent in a few weeks ago. This is Brian White on 99X, and we’re guessing at the year here – sounds like 1976, although there’s not really enough of this […]

Two formats and over a dozen years ago, the only Country music station in Los Angeles was KZLA. Bonneville still owned the station at that time, and 93.9 used a very Adult Contemporary approach to its Country music format. Listen and you’ll […]

WWMY Raleigh NC “102.9 Star-FM” | March 24, 2004

A less than memorable QuickCheck of the old “102.9 Star-FM” Classic Hits format is presented here, scoped down from a 90 minute cassette recording. The only historical significance that this radio station holds is the current WKIX call letters. WKIX was a […]

Cousin Bruce Morrow, 66 WNBC New York | September 5, 1975

Here’s a ‘world premier aircheck’ of Cousin Brucie, as recorded by contributor Keith Teicher live on 66 WNBC New York on 09/05/75. Sure, there are ‘checks of Bruce Morrow out there but most are quite worn down and muffled. This is clear, […]
