Composite: WGCI AM/FM “Power 107.5” Chicago | December 1986
This one is for the early ‘old skool’ hip hop & r&b fans! WGCI is definitely hot here, and has some great jocks, including Tom Joyner, who is of course a nationally syndicated morning show host today. Here, Joyner (I think) is doing afternoons on WGCI. The whole station really cooks throughout this aircheck. It’s…
“Crazy” Bob McLaine on WIBG Philadelphia | January, 1977
Oops! Here’s another morning maniac almost lost to time. Almost! This is Bob McLaine, known for many years in both Philly and Memphis, as ol’ Bob was a TV personality and the morning guy at WOTO “Oldies 95.7″ before it was blown up by Clear Channel back a few years ago. And… hey Bob! I…
Jim O’Brien, Dan Donovan, 56 WFIL Philadelphia | January 24, 1977
Still technically a Top 40 station, WFIL has a one man morning show and plays everything – Some golden oldies thrown in which go back to the 60s, and lots of current hits, disco included. This is a wonderful glimpse of how WFIL sounded just before throwing in the towel and moving to an Adult…
Blake Lawrence on KKBQ Houston | 1985
Here’s an aircheck that’s most definitely worth posting here! Broadcasting in AM Stereo, KKBQ, known as “Hot 79Q” is a serious Top 40 contender. You have to have been there. In 1985, there was, for a time, a resurgence of AM top 40 as a handful of stations nationwide tried to come back as music…
Glenn Morgan on WXLO 99X New York | March 1, 1978
Big thanks to “Magic” Matt at Big Apple Airchecks for some pristine audio of 99X! This is from the end of the best era (IMHO) of WXLO in the days of Disco music and a very heated competition between 99X and crosstown, cross-band 77 WABC. Glenn Morgan Is certainly one of the more subdued jocks…
QuickChexx: WBAB Babylon, Long Island | 1980
Okay, this one is so short I should call it a ‘lightning check’! Courtesy of Frank Ellsworth, who said he found a 1 minute aircheck and emailed it to us, here’s a short look at the morning show on WBAB “Long Island”, as they ID’d themselves for years. Nick Sarames (one of our esteemed contributors)…
QuickChexx: The Mike & Michelle Morning Show on WBBO B98-5 Monmouth/Ocean NJ | 1998
Emailed to us a couple of weeks ago by “The Doctor” Michael Lynn was this short aircheck he said he found in a dusty box at home. Mike writes, Monmouth-Ocean County….CHR…1998..”Mike and Michelle”…We were the first Morning Show when the station flipped. First book we went to #1. Gotta love it when that happens 🙂…
QuickChexx: Paul Kramer on Mix Jamz 100.7 WMXP Pittsburgh | April 11, 1990
Oh yes, this is short, but if you go back 16 years, believe it or not… hip hop was in it’s infancy, and very much mixed in with mainstream R&B. And, this is what it sounded like…
