Sample: 95.1 WAYV Atlantic City | November 4, 1997
Scoped down from an original 45 minute cassette side to this 7:52 sample, here’s a look at HotAC/Adult Hits 95.1 WAYV. The station has a pretty wide playlist here, lots of 80s gold along with the top AC hits of 1997. We don’t know who the jock is, as he never identifies himself, but with…
Suzy Waud on Energy 105 WNRJ Pittsburgh | October 27, 1989
Yet another from Robyn Watts’ huge collection includes this generous dose of CHR from the Steel City. This is another one of those stations that’s apparently been gone for quite a number of years (which is why a google image search turns up nothing). Still, a great sounding late-80s version CHR station that really made…
Peter Butler & The Z Morning Zoo, 98.5 KZOU Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Little Rock’s hit music station here is Zoo 98 – officially, 98.5 KZOU. This encompasses a bit of the Z Morning Zoo featuring Peter Butler, and friends… includes News, Sports and the (scoped) hits of the day. The date of this recording is based upon the birthdays noted shortly after the start of this aircheck.…
Composite: 800 XEROK Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua | 1974
John Long (WAVZ) was the Programming genius behind this short lived but fantastic Top 40 format, leased from the Mexican government on XEROK. Located just across the Rio Grande, this station was a ‘Superpower’ AM like none other. Actually, the real history of this ‘Border Blaster’, as it was called, starts in the early 1940s.…
Michael P., 105.1 KMJX “Magic 105” (Conway) Little Rock | October 23, 1989
“…We’re dealing with goofy middle names today” Like much of the Little Rock radio market as of this writing in 2013, the station formerly known as “Magic 105” has changed formats, this time to Country. But here in 1989, KMJX was a Rock station. Not knowing exactly the form of this format at the time,…
Don Christy, 94.9 KOLL “Kool 95” Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Yet another morning drive of Little Rock radio is presented here, on a tape from California Aircheck contributed by Robyn Watts. Here’s the Don Christy morning show on Kool 95. This is a mainstream Oldies station playing the hits of the 50s, 60s and early 70s. A pretty good sounding station as most Oldies outlets…
Craig O’Neil, 103.7 KKYK Little Rock | October, 1989
We’re guessing on the date of this aircheck as sometime in October, 1989, based upon the news item that Jim Bakker was sentenced to prison the day before this was recorded. (Can’t find the exact sentencing date but the trial lasted six weeks and began in August of 1989, so this is just a guess).…
