Mike Hotaling, Halloween Night – Classic Rock 102.3 WXCR Albany NY (Ballston Spa) | October 31, 1998
Here’s one Contributor Mike Hotaling sent in of his Halloween show on Classic Rocker WXCR Albany. This is a fun aircheck. There’s apparently a whole group of staffers in the studio with Mike this particular evening and they are having a good time as Mike serves up a generous dose of hard rock classics, from…
Jackson Armstrong, 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles | January 26, 1979
Continuing our series on KTNQ given to us way back in 2004, Here’s yet another great clip of the late Jackson Armstrong… still in his prime with the Gorilla and a stack of Rock & Roll records (well, probably were carts) on a station that simply COOKED! Compare this with KHJ recordings of the same…
Mucho Morales; Bobby Ocean, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | December, 1978
Thanks again to BigAppleAirchecks for another classc… KHJ at the end of 1978, was the poster child of liner card radio. Sure, the music is on target, but the jocks really had their hands tied and couldn’t really be themselves. The station’s slogan tells it all: 93/KHJ – The ALL MUSIC STATION. Not a terribly…
Kid Carter, 98.1 WQSM Fayetteville NC | May 29, 2003
Comments by Steve West: Here’s a format hint: Any station which uses the slogan, “Today’s Best Variety” is Adult-Contemporary. Perhaps that’s why an adult like me likes the music. WQSM goes by the name “Q98”, which implies a CHR format. Yet, for all intents and purposes, this sounds like Top 40 in many ways… that’s…
Scotty G., 103.3 WJMX-FM Cheraw SC | June 18, 2003
A relatively recent aircheck, here’s Scotty G., broadcasting ‘on location’ at “Redbone Alley”, presumably a dance club somewhere in the Florence SC area. The station calls itself “103X” and sounds very typical of many Rhythmic-leaning CHR stations to this day. This was recorded between 5:45 and 6:30 PM and showcases the ‘5 O’Clock Traffic Jam’…
Nick Summers, “Hit Music 104” KZZP Phoenix | June 11, 1984
Courtesy of the folks at AircheckDownloads.com, here’s a short, 3 minute scope of the old “Hit Music 104” KZZP out of Phoenix. It’s called “Kiss-FM” today, but go back with us to the Summer of ’84 when this was a personality-oriented top 40. Comments are most welcome.
Motor City Gold – Detroit-Area Radio, Circa 1971, Part 2
In October of 2004, in our second year on the web, we posted a series of aircheck tapes entitled “Old Gold”. The series was called that based upon one of the Oldies formats at one of the Detroit area stations. There were 12 actual tapes in the series, but for some odd reason we only…
