“Huggy Boy” (Dick Hugg), 1st Show, KRTH Los Angeles | December 4, 1998
The late Dick Hugg, better known to his listeners as “Huggy Boy”, is captured here at the start of his first show on the legendary K-Earth 101! Hugg was known not only as an early and heavy influence in promoting Do-Wop music, but he heavily influenced 60s & 70s Latino (Chicano) artists. He had his…
WOKE Charleston SC | Sometime 1980’s
Here’s a rare aircheck of Standards WOKE Charleston SC. I remember hearing the station when I was stationed there in the early 90s during my Naval service, and remember this sounding like a relic from my grandfather’s era! Not much I can say about this one, just a few minutes of programming and some unique…
Johnny Driscoll, WCFL Chicago | 1974
Enter John Driscoll (Jock, Consultant & Airchexx Contributor). Talk about HIGH ENERGY! Driscoll easily gives John Records Landecker over at crosstown WLS a run for his money. This is 1974. WCFL was owned by the Chicago Federation of Labor. I always thought it interesting that a labor union could own a radio station. Actually, WCFL…
Storm Coverage: Hurricane Sandy, 2012 – Part 2, Various Stations (CT/NY) | October 28, 2012 – 7-8 AM
Running 33 minutes, here’s part two of our coverage of Hurricane Sandy recorded on Monday morning, 8-10 hours before landfall. The reason for recording this, was to document radio’s coverage and response to a major emergency. The only editing of this recording done was to remove most of the commercials and music, where it was…
Composite: KNUS Dallas | 1979
New Contributor Karl Ireland sent in some truly fascinating material for your listening pleasure. Here’s an un-dated station promotional composite of “FM 99” KNUS. Based upon the music, I’m guessing this is from Spring, 1979. Who’s the narrator? Listen to the voice very carefully and see if you can answer. This follows one broadcast day…
Wayne Moss, 1480 WABB Mobile AL | April, 1964
Contributor Mike Raub sent us this incredible recording! WABB was doing Top 40 in 1964 with lots of reverb and personality! Wayne Moss is filling in the morning show for normal show host Wayne Dean. Not sure if this was standard at WABB, but the jock acts as Newsman and apparently voices everything. Listen as…
Ted Lewis, KZCD ‘Z94’ Lawton, OK | 2000
Contributor Jeffrey James sent this in on CD recently, and this adds both a new city and state to our archives. Smack in the middle of Tornado alley is Lawton, Oklahoma. Z-94 is an Active Rocker, at least here as recorded at the turn of the century. This is relatively ‘new’, as so many of…
Tom Lacko, 98.3 WESA Duquesne, PA (Pittsburgh) | 1983
Contributor Tom Lacko sent this in a long time ago and for some reason it never made it to the archives. Here’s a 4 1/2 minutes of the old AC station 98 ESA. Licensed to Duquesne, PA, this is the Pittsburgh Market. We know next to nothing about this station in the early 80s, although…
