Brad Pierce, 550 WGNG Pawtucket (Providence) | 1974
“Nine out of ten prizes have been won in the Win 10 Bin…” This runs just over 5 minutes. But in those 5 minutes, think back to how AM radio sounded like right in the middle of the 70s. AM was still […]

QuickChexx: Terri Hemmert, 93.1 WXRT Chicago | June 12, 1991
A very pleasant voice greets listeners to the Terri Hemmert Show on 93-XRT. Chicago had a really GREAT, Quality Rock station with a wide variety of Rock – at least for a few years. This is very short, just 4:47, all scoped […]

QuickChexx: Chip Hobart, 68 WRKO Boston | 1974
Running about 3 minutes, Courtesy of Contributor Steve Bleecker, here’s a short, clean, and well processed WRKO featuring Chip Hobart. I’m guessing the year 1974 here, since the tape came without the date on it. Could be ’73. Somebody knows. WRKO is […]

Bill Wright, WIBG 990 Philadelphia | August 1, 1966
“Look out everybody, this is hot wax!!!” We begin by warning listeners: The audio quality on this recording is horrible. Despite my best efforts, the tape sounds muddy, grainy, has dropouts and a very strange echo, which I believe is caused by […]

John Mack, 1380 WAMS Wilmington DE | August 3, 1979
Was THIS any way for a great Top 40 station to end up? A Traveler’s Advisory Station?!! WAMS, the call letters, went through a number of frequency changes at the end of it’s life from around 2000 till the end. Sitting on […]

Don Walker, 101.7 WKNZ Collins MS | May, 1982
Here’s a station where its very difficult to map out the history of the original station. In fact, we’re not sure exactly what station is on 101.7 since there are conflicting stations listed by different sources. It could be WLVZ – and […]
