Steve Wayne for Lou Katz on 1260 WWDC Washington
Here’s a short look at the AM side of WWDC from approximately the mid-1970s. While the exact date is unknown (we’ve had good luck with listeners doing research of their own for us – so have at it and post it in the ‘comments’ section below, if you wish), we think this is from a…
Rick Mitchell – Last show on Musicradio 98 WTRY Troy, NY | February 16, 1979
According to Frank Izzo, the contributor of this aircheck, Mitchell had the #1 morning show in the Capitol District for four years. Now, this is his final show. It’s GREAT AM Top 40, complete with TM (c) Fusion jingles and all!
WPIK Alexandria VA signoff
Included on another tape in the ‘annonymous’ donation from Christmas ’04, this is part of the sign off of WPIK Alexandria VA. It invites listeners to tune to their FM station for more Country music all night. A bit of research turns up that WPIK was on 730 in Alexandria VA, the Washington DC market.…
San Francisco CHR: Morning Drive on 106 KMEL and KXXX X-100 | September 1989
Here is a unique, narrated look at late 80s morning drive in San Francisco. Two great FM stations are featured here, courtesy of Robyn Watts and Hecht Enterprises, an apparent aircheck service at the time. This starts with the “Morning Zoo” on KMEL, then moves on to the X-100 morning show. X-100 of course morphed…
Barnes & the CD Countdown, WNNX Atlanta | January 28, 1995
Notable because this station uses the only other 99X monikker that we know of, and because we featured this station’s CHR predecessor a few weeks ago, here’s a scoped hour of Atlanta’s New Rock station. 99X changed formats in 2007. When we get audio of the flip, we’ll post it on our sister site, The…
93/KHJ Los Angeles: Sneak Preview | April 27-29, 1965
Here’s the one aircheck which documents the beginning of a legend. 93 KHJ. A station whose format, conceived and implemented by consultant Bill Drake, began a revolution in the way top 40 radio was presented. While other segments of this broadcast are available in other places on the web, we have not only the audio…
The Greaseman, WWDC-FM Washington – DC101 | March 30, 1988
How long has it been since The Greaseman was DC-101’s morning guy? Courtesy of Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks, this will surely bring back fond memories of the man who had a million stories (or so it seemed). We sure miss hearing Doug Tracht and here’s why. Here’s a real personality – someone who was…
Shock Jock Week: Opie and Anthony on Ru Paul & Frankie Blue and their former station, 102.7 WNEW New York
Nothing is off limits to these two! This recording of the O & A show on XM Radio was made shortly after the duo’s satellite radio start, and they go off on their former employer, Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS, Inc), the new format on WNEW. This features a recording of the Frankie Blue show on…
