The Breakfast Club on WAPW “Power 99” Atlanta | September 1991
A year before Atlanta’s Alternative station, WNNX “99X” would replace Power 99, WAPW was still a hot CHR pulling decent numbers, and killing off competitors WZGC “Z93” and WQXI-FM 94-Q in the process. Here’s a look at the morning show on Power 99, known as The Breakfast Club.
NYC 80s CHR Wars: Kid Kelly on Z-100
Kid Kelly these days is the host of nationally-syndicated “Backtracks USA”, where he produces both an 80s and a separate 90s version of the show, delivered on CD to Hot AC stations nationwide.

NYC 80’s CHR Wars: Skyy Walker & Domino on 95.5 WPLJ
After WPLJ’s transition to CHR from AOR and prior to flipping to Hot AC, WPLJ was in direct CHR compeition with both WQHT and WHTZ, although the “Power 95” version of WPLJ was mixed a bit more hard-edged as the former two competitors, in the respect that on this aircheck in particular, there’s more hard…
NYC 80’s CHR Wars: Bill O’Brien on WHTZ
The late 80s and early 90s saw one of the hottest competitions among the hit music stations in New York City history. The last time there were this many stations locked in battle for the top 40 audience was the early 1960s when it was on the AM band between WMGM, WMCA and WABC. But,…
