John Records Landecker, 89 WLS Chicago | March, 1988
Courtesy of longtime contributor Robyn Watts, from California Aircheck tape #96, here’s Chicago’s 890 AM WLS. John Records Landecker is the featured jock on a very TALK intensive show that features very little in the way of music, but still playing the contemporary “AM 89 WLS” jingles from Jam Creative Productions. I’m struck by just…
Gary McKee, 94.1 WQXI-FM 94Q Atlanta | March 15, 1986
Courtesy of Contributor Robyn Watts, from California Aircheck ™ tape #S-80 of May 1986. “Do you get the feelin’ these people snuck in and took a look at our checkbooks…?” Gary McKee is in great form playing the hits of the day on CHR 94.1 WQXI-FM. Its the first day of Spring and yet cold…
Lon Thomas, WARM Power 99-7 Atlanta | March, 1986
When this station started playing top 40, it was called “WARM 99”, but in March of 1986 the name changed to “Power 99-7”. The call letters in the beginning were WARM-FM. The memorable WAPW call letters wouldn’t arrive until 1988. Here’s Lon Thomas, highlighted here from audio publication CALIFORNIA AIRCHECK, Tape #S-80 from March of…
Yvonne Monet, WNNX 99X Atlanta | 1994
Contributor Robyn Watts sent in enough tapes for a year’s worth of postings! Included in her 2004 mailing was this tape of Atlanta’s Alternative WNNX 99X. Yvonne Monet is listed elsewhere as part of the early staff of then just two-year old 99X. Not being from Atlanta, I don’t have much information other than the…
JoJo Kincaid, 105.7 WVBF “F-105” Framingham/Boston | March 15, 1979
“…Thank you for making us Boston’s Number One Music Station!” The “New” F-105 wasn’t new, but the branding was for one of Boston’s first FM Top 40 stations. WVBF (which stood for the owner’s wife’s name, Virginia Brown Fairbanks) had been rocking since the early ’70s, but when the Disco craze took hold in late…
Al Bandiero, 1520 WKBW Buffalo | March 1979
After searching for ten years for another aircheck of the jock who inspired your webmaster to get into radio at the age of 16, here’s Al Bandiero on the legendary WKBW Buffalo! Here’s KB Radio 15 the way many of us remember it – the night show via skip during a bitterly cold winter, and…
Mason Dixon, 95.7 WMTX “Mix 96” Clearwater FL | March 1993
Judge for yourself, but is this the same Mason Dixon we hear on KCBQ San Diego from 9/24/77? WMTX has changed frequencies since this was recorded back in 1993, but this does have at least one historical marker – Bill Clinton was president for only a few weeks, as he mentions in the beginning of…
Domino, KHKS 106.1 Kiss-FM Denton/Dallas/Ft. Worth | March 1993
Featuring full reverb, 100KW and all the hits, Domino is having a blast on “The New 106.1 KISS-FM”. The Dallas/Ft. Worth market has no shortage of blowtorch signals (and why not? the market is surrounded by desert to the west and is sparcely populated outside of city limits… or it was in ’93). This is…
