Steve Cherry, Gary James; WQMX “Mix 95” Medina, OH | April 13, 1989
The former WDBN is showcased in this short scope of the then reasonably new AC format known as “Mix 95”. The station does have liners indicating that they are on 94.9, although interestingly enough, they don’t seem interested in calling themselves by their proper frequency. Listeners apparently had no problem finding the station on the…
The Runners Up of Classic Rock and Roll Weekend; KRTH Los Angeles | August 29, 1987
Description by Contributor Jose Harrison: .. This specialty weekend (which began at 12 noon on Friday) involved all the songs that peaked at #2 (Runner’s Up) in Los Angeles from 1956 to 1979. It aired the weekend before Labor Day Weekend, every year in the mid 80’s until it was unfortunately discontinued after 1988. In…
Carol King, 1200 WBZY New Castle PA | January 6, 1989
Another AM Music station that’s been gone for quite a while is WBZY. Licensed to New Castle, Pennsylvania, the station’s largest close metro area is Youngstown, Ohio. We don’t know much about this station other than today the station is WKST. The jock on this is Carol King – whether that’s her real name or…
Cousin Bruce Morrow, 77 WABC New York | September, 1965
From the heyday of WABC, here’s a GREAT aircheck of Bruce Morrow when he was a teen jock. Right off we hear Brucie’s custom jingle recorded by the Four Seasons. You’ll love the classic commercials, like Coca-Cola recorded by Freddie and the Dreamers, and more! Dan Ingram is the voice for WABC’s music promos.. and…
Launch Day, 100.7 WXXP Pittsburgh | June 15, 1986
Nothing like an aircheck with no historical reference… Given that the tape that this was recorded on only lists this aircheck as having been recorded in June of ’86, we can only guess as to the date. There is one promo in the middle of this recording that says, ‘on June 15, 1986 WWCL becomes…
Phil Gardner, 1220 WGAR Cleveland | May 1976
Phil Gardner is celebrating his two year anniversary on WGAR, and judging from the outstanding audio quality, it might have been put out on vynl or something – either that or someone took exceptionally good care of their tape! Dick Clark even sent audio congratulations for Phil’s show! Listen for Phil Gardner’s rendition of Byron…
Short Composite: WHK Cleveland | June 1986
At just over 6 minutes in length, there’s not much that can be said about this short aircheck, other than it was an AM Oldies station in 1986 – a time when most AM stations had already quit the music race. Still, it sounds good, with a little thunderstorm static on the signal and a…
Jim Runyon, WCFL Chicago | August, 1966
The Chicago Federation of Labor station, as heard during the Summer of 1966. The jock is Jim Runyon – he’s got a smooth voice, and the advertisements feature smooth ladies’ voices! At least, the one for “Compoz” does. You’ll hear five minutes of scoped Jim Runyon, then a minute of WCFL News headlines before its…
