“Broadway” Bill Lee, 97.1 WQHT ‘Hot 97’ New York | April 25, 1990
Currently on the legendary 101.1 WCBS-FM, Broadway Bill Lee (WTIC-FM, KFRC, WLOL) holds down the afternoon drive on Hot 97. Note the intensity of this aircheck! Not only that, but looking back, this doesn’t sound Urban, so much as a dance-oriented station. But after all, this was 1990 and Hip Hop would really come into…
Storm Coverage: Hurricane Sandy, 2012 – Part 1 – WCBS 880 New York | October 28, 2012, 3pm-5pm
Hurricane Sandy. Has any storm ever put more fear into the hearts of people? The storm caused more damage than any before it, with losses in the Billions, and personal losses that can’t be expressed. Why post radio coverage of a tragedy such as this? Several reasons. First, as with the media coverage of 9/11/01,…
Steve Edwards, KHLT Little Rock | 1987
Here’s Steve Edwards’ morning show on AC KHLT, known on air back then as K-Lite. Note the wide variety of music, although we don’t get a true feel for the rest of the day’s programming. We do get a News and Traffic update along with a weather forecast for the Little Rock area. This is…
Composite: 1580 AM Stereo KDAY Santa Monica/Los Angeles | 1989
Contributed by Jeffrey James Holland on CD, here’s one we know virtually nothing about. KDAY was a somewhat legendary Top 40 station in the 60s and 70s, but here in 1989 it’s an Urban station playing mainly rap and a few slow jams. There’s three jocks highlighted along with the stop sets with ads tailored…
Calvin Hicks/Mitch Zano, WSSX 95SX Charleston SC | November, 1996
Charleston, SC is an under-rated market. I say that knowing that there are a lot of Large and Medium sized markets that did and still do have plenty of talent gracing the airwaves. This time, we have a pretty long late afternoon/evening composite of 95SX. At the time of this recording, it was pretty much…
WPRO-FM Providence | August, 1974
First posted in November, 2004, here’s the return of a legend! WPRO-FM, only a few short months away back at the time of this QC from being called ’92 PRO-FM’, is shown here doing what this station has been doing continuously for almost 40 years now – playing the hits of the day! That kinda…
Dan Ingram; ABC Super Radio Demo | 1982
In 1982, as WABC New York’s run as a music station was coming to an end, ABC Radio laid plans for a then-new idea for a music network. This network was a complete Top-40 format, complete with major market deejays, jingles, promotions and sales. It even had a number of actual stations lined up to…
Composite: 1400 WCOS Columbia SC | August 4, 1958
I uncovered an interesting fact while researching this recording. What written history there is of early WCOS programming was apparently remembered wrong, or the facts concerning this station’s change to Top 40 on August 5, 1958 were logged incorrectly. The recording you’re about to listen to features plenty of news, an “Open Mic” program and…
