Lee Michaels, 98.7 WNYZ Syracuse (Ithaca) – Undated
Contributor Mike Hotaling (WXCR, WQBK) is featured here on the All-New Z-98.7 as Lee Michaels. Here’s a Classic Hits station that sounds very much like a 90s incarnation, but we don’t have a date to go with the tape. This is from the Syracuse market. Upstate New York had some great radio stations over the…
Gary McKee on 79 WQXI Atlanta – Full Morning Show | 1972
More McKee fun! Here’s one complete, scoped morning show from sometime in ’72. This is courtesy of our old site pal Karl Phillips (and we thank him greatly!). Transferred directly from 7 1/4 inch reel played on an old Wollensack graciously loaned out to us by my good friend, voiceover guy Jack Parnell, this aircheck…
Don Cox on 79 WQXI Atlanta | 1972
It’s the natural progression of the WQXI broadcast day – Don Cox following Gary McKee on WQXI! Actually, it was next up on the same reel containing Mr. McKee from the same day. More great audio quality, but a few splices from me because for some reason, the person recording decided not to tightly scope…
QuickChexx: KMPZ-FM Z98 Memphis | January 17, 1989
This is just about the shortest aircheck on the site, but we’ve added it because there is no audio that we can find anywhere from this era of 98.1 FM in Memphis. Contributed by Henry Nelson, PD of WRBO Memphis in a box of what he termed ‘junk’ (one man’s junk is another man’s treasure…),…
Donnie Simpson, 93.9 WKYS Washington
The beginnings of format fragmentation. The end of traditional Top 40. Whatever you call it, this is how it sounded when Disco stations popped up all over the country. This is an interesting sounding station. Apparently from 1978, or so we’d guess, 93-KYS calls itself the all disco station, but the playlist is not exclusively…
QuickChexx: Dan Ingram, 92.1 WKTU New York | January, 1985
Where does the greatest DJ of all time go when the greatest AM Top 40 of all time drops its format? Why, to the station that caused it’s demise, of course! Granted, the station that finally knocked MusicRadio 77 WABC off it’s Number one perch was a Disco station at the time, but 92-KTU had…
Jim Randall, Afternoon Drive, WMZQ Washington | 1978
Guessing here on the exact year of this aircheck, here’s an interesting look at a station which, were it not for all the Country music, would simply be a great MOR station. If one of our listeners can nail down an exact date, I’ll edit this post appropriately. Notables: You’ll hear a newscast at 6pm…
Composite: WHTZ Z100 New York, 1985-1993
From the world’s best Aircheck site, here’s a composite of the greatest hit music station of all time! Sorry kiddies, WABC may have been first and fantastic, but Z100 was and still is the hottest station on the planet. The greatest jingles from Jam, a fantastic Top Hour ID from Ernie Anderson, and personalities like…
