WHN Billboard Station Composite | May 30, 1977
Apparently released as a promotional tool to radio stations (seems to me Radio and Records and/or some other publications did these back in the day), Billboard Magazine made this composite of Country station 1050 WHN New York. I originally guessed the date of this as Memorial Day 1976, but as visitor Joe Crain comments below,…
Wolfman Jack sits in with Murray the K, 66 WNBC | August 1973
Originally posted in November 2007, two legendary personalities share the mic from an era when those heard between the records were every bit as important as the music. WNBC was in a period where it tried competing with crosstown WABC, with its own psudeo-top 40 format, but still with so much network programming on the…
Uncle Mike & Fisher, 1090 KLDR Aurora (Denver) | April 2, 1979
KLDR, Denver – “Someplace Special”. We’ve stumbled upon a short-lived AM music station which did evolve into Top 40 into the early 80s from this – whatever format this is. It sounds Middle Of the Road or Adult Contemporary, but really, A Beatles song covered by The Carpenters? In 1979? The morning show is “Uncle…
Sonny Fox and the Wake Up Crew, WHYI Y-100 Miami | 1985
Here’s Y-100’s morning show featuring Sonny Fox, from the middle of the ‘decade of greed’, 1985! HitOldies jock Al Roberts recorded this noise free mono ‘check way back when.

WCBS 880 Announces the Return of Oldies on 101.1 WCBS-FM | July 12, 2007
After the ill-fated “Jack-FM” format crashed and burned, CBS brass woke up to the fact that blowing up the personality-heavy Oldies format on 101.1 FM probably wasn’t the wisest thing. Listen now as All News WCBS 880 interviews Cousin Bruce Morrow and Bob Shannon about the return of CBS-FM! Narrated by your webmaster, this includes…
Thom Whetston, 1280 WEIM Fitchburg MA | August, 1979
This aircheck actually comes to us from Thom Whetston himself, via Big Apple Airchecks. Interesting, from your webmaster’s perspective, as Thom Whetston and I were sort-of competitors (I was at WFGL-AM and WFMP-FM), and we’ve been in touch recently. They call the twin cities of Fitchburg and Leominster (along with Gardner) the Montachusett region. WEIM…
Broadway Bill Lee, 103.5 WKTU Lake Success (New York) | February 1, 2000
One of our all-time favorites, Broadway Bill Lee (Bill Lenke) sounds a bit more serious here but still rhyme drops plenty in this scoped 8 1/2 minutes of Rhythmic excitement! KTU has always been a classy outfit, and the station shines here. No obnoxious imaging, jingles that fit the music perfectly and a really great…
Gary Mercer, 960 CKWS Kingston, Ont. | 1971
One of the hallmarks of a true museum is collecting rare artifacts of things that no longer exist. Such is the case with some radio stations, such as this one. AM 960 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada went off the air for good on January 15, 2008. The call letters at the time were CFFX. The…
