‘JW’ in the Morning, Country 99.5 WKLB Lowell/Boston | January 9, 1998
From Webmaster Steve West – funny, the most obscure recordings I’ve posted of stations that might or might not even be interesting are right out of my own collection. I recorded this while working as a Temp at some place in Princeton, MA… some little factory that makes something I can’t even remember anymore. I…
Tony Taylor, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | 1969
From the generocity of Contributor Karl Philips, here’s Tony Taylor (WQXI Atlanta) on the old WOR-FM. Lots of Bill Drake and the format that was slightly modified (well, the jingles were) to reflect the New York “Big Town Sound”. Still, it’s tempting to hear ’93 KHJ’ in your head when these jingles play! Remember this…
Mark Simone, WNEW Stereo 1130 New York | Undated
We can’t pin down the date of this – but perhaps someone can. Mark Simone is the personality for this, the last and best era at the great Eleven Three Oh WNEW. I’m guessing it’s sometime in the 80s. Andy Williams is Simone’s call-in guest. What a well-done radio station this was! WNEW was anything…
Charlie O, 1110 KRLA Pasadena CA | June 16, 1967
We’re going all the way back to the Summer of 1967 for this clip of KRLA! Known for boosting the careers of such famous deejays as Casey Casem (of “American Top 40” fame), then-future game show host Wink Martindale (WHBQ Memphis), Bill Ballance (KFWB ‘Color Radio 98’) and even Dick Biondi – best known for…
Jim Carnegie, 1410 KQV Pittsburgh | Winter, 1973
At only 3 minutes in length, our first look at Fun Lovin’ KQV from sometime during the Winter of 1973. The tape was labelled August 73, but with a chance of snow in the forecast, its an obvious mistake. Here’s Jim Carnegie. We know nothing about Jim or his career (somebody out there does), but…
Composite: 1360 KRUX Glendale AZ | December 20, 1971
Found on an old tape we received back in 2004, here’s our first look at the legendary, if not forgotten 136 KRUX. While serving the Phoenix market, this relatively low-powered station owned the market with its 5,000 watt transmitter in Glendale all throughout the 60s and early 70s. The station remained a Top 40 giant…
Tim Morgan on WKEZ “Keys Country” Yorktown VA | March 1987
There’s a reason we don’t do much with country station airchecks – compared with top 40 they are kinda boring, but they are similar in format to AC stations so sometimes its worth it. Here’s a recording I made while still living in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. There were, at the time of…
Shotgun Cook & C.C. McCartney, 104.1 KRBE Houston | 1977
And now, some Mid-70s FM Top 40 Gold! KRBE has a long history doing Top-40/CHR in Houston – in fact, it’s still the hit music ratings leader! This features two jocks who were prominent in the late 70s during a time when KRBE’s format was a mix of Top-40 and hard Rock ‘hits’. You’ll hear…
