Tony Cox on WZKS 96-Kiss Nashville | July 1984
Nashville. Not Union, MS, as is the current home of those call letters. Everything changes, including this vintage 80s CHR which these days is WCJK from Murfreesboro, outside of Metro Nashville. Music City has always been a hotbed of radio talent and this was no exception. While the city at that time was very much…
Composite: WCBS-FM 101.1 New York | 2003
Its been said that WCBS-FM began to lose its music focus in the few years leading up to the station’s inevitable demise (was it really inevitable? CBS brass thought so). Even if that’s a true statement, the talent was always right on the mark! Here’s a glimpse of our favorite Oldies station with it’s core…
J. B. Lewis on WBLX Mobile AL | March, 1988
Typical 80s CHR, a bit more urban than mainstream, and one jock named JB Lewis. Okay, so JB doesn’t have a big set of pipes… but he does run a tight, upbeat show and that counts for something, right? No jingles on this station. At least none on this aircheck. Perhaps someone knows the history…
Ben Cooper in the Morning, WEZB New Orleans’ Power Station B-97 | October 1987
Man there was some good radio in Nawleans! Listening to this recording, you notice the JAM jingles which were in common use at so many CHR stations. You also hear Cammie McCormick doing sidekick/news duties (she went on to be a CBS radio news anchor), and a promo done by our site friend Alan Beebe!…
Promo: The Great Rat Roundup– KNUS Dallas | 1978
Frankly, when this posted, your webmaster falsely assumed this was a big KNUS promo. Alas, the person who says he created this piece contacted us to set the record straight. Apparently this was *NOT* used on the air. Here’s what creator Bob Buchanan says about it: the roundup was NOT an on-air promo. it was…
Composite: Northern NJ | August 12, 2006
This is very interesting, in that you’ll hear a good cross-section of AM & FM stations. It begins with the Mark Simone talk show on WABC, and moves through WOR 710, WFAN Sportsradio 66, then onto FM on the left side of the dial (88.1 for you digital junkies). Sometimes I lingered for a short…
Chuck McKay, CKLW Windsor | February 1975
…”I’d like to say hi to my mother who breast fed me and told me to get into radio…” If you listen to this closely, you’ll notice that Chuck McKay is returning to CKLW after some time at WLS Chicago (his words). But is this any way to return? He acts like he’s leaving again,…
Dale O’Brien & Bob Scott, Morning Drive on WSB-FM “B98.5” Atlanta | September 1991
Here’s a very entertaining look at one of those stations that moved away from Beautiful music and into the AC world in the early 80s. 1980, to be precise, here at the FM sister to legendary WSB 750 AM. Yep, WSB-FM has a long colorful history (the first commercial FM in the Southeast, among other…
