QuickChexx: 1190 KLIF Dallas | 1972
The next series of airchecks pertain to the Dallas market – in particular, Gordon McLendon’s contribution to broadcast history in ’72. Perhaps there has been no greater innovator in all of broadcast history than McLendon, from his baseball play-by-play re-creations to HIS style of Top 40 radio. This is one in a series of KLIF…
Jackson Armstrong on KDKA Pittsburgh | October 12, 1975
Listening to this you’ll NEVER believe that it’s your LEEEEEEEeeeeeeaaader! from KB and elsewhere! Jack Armstrong has to be one of the most versatile jaws in radio, and to be working for Westinghouse Broadcasting…. who woulda thunk? You’ll never believe this until you hear it. This is the MOR KDKA which was more soft and…
Composite: 1260 KXLR San Francisco
This is a very unique aircheck. First off, it’s not a music station, but there is music, in portions of this aircheck (strangely enough, as one song ends, there’s a long pause before the next one begins… almost like if you play a CD or a record without interruption). The music presented is, of course,…
A sample of AM drive on 1050 WHN New York | 1986
In the waning days of Country music at WHN, here’s a look at how mornings sounded just before the end. By 1987, WHN would be gone, having flipped to All-Sports as 1050 WFAN, which would move the next year in what was known as the big switch, down to 660 upon the expiration of WNBC.…
Frank Holler, 1410 WPOP Hartford | May 18, 1969
AM was still king in Hartford and all around the USA when this recording of WPOP was made. Now, unless you’re intimately familiar with the Bill Drake “Boss Radio” Top 40 format, you probably think this is his handiwork. Someone out there knows for sure, but it sure sounds like WPOP ran a Drake knock-off…
QuickChexx: Tracey, 1300 WAVZ New Haven | May 17, 1969
We’re back into the 1960s for this short clip of WAVZ New Haven. This is the Tracey show, although we’re not sure who Tracey is or where he went after WAVZ. One thing that sticks out on many of the WAVZ airchecks on this site is the frequency at which Railroad Salvage ads air. Many…
Legal ID’s Volume 2: More 90s
From Quebec & Nova Scotia to NJ, PA and even Turks and Cacos Islands, this seconf volume of assorted legal IDs will keep you riveted to the edge of your seat! This covers mainly the northeast, but listen for an ID from KTNN Window Rock, AZ and some other faraway places in the mix. It…
Composite: 79 WQXI Atlanta | September 1966
It’s old but it’s a great cross section of talent, some of whom include Dr. Don Rose (KFRC) and Tony Taylor (WOR-FM)! This is mid-60s WQXI, with lots of reverb, cheesy pop tunes and tons of PAMS jingles! Since we’ve become the de-facto WQXI historical site (WQXI is our most popular station according to stats),…
