Mary Kennedy, 94.5 WXRA Eden, NC | August 29, 1999
Perhaps the most noticeable thing about this recording is that Mary Kennedy is live, or so it seems, judging by her comment about not paying close enough attention coming out of a commercial break. Otherwise, this is an unremarkable aircheck of Active/Alternative Rocker 94-5 “The Rock Station”. There’s not much to describe here, but a…
Sample: 106.7 WWID Gainesville GA | September 5, 1982
Contributor Jay Sawyer sent in this sample of the old WWID “Wide 107” from the Atlanta market. We’ve determined the date to be 9/5/82, based upon clues in this very short but excellent quality aircheck. This station is now an All-News outlet, branded “NewsRadio 106.7” with the call letters WYAY. Aircheck #1,349 since May 2,…
Bob Grant, Final Show on 710 WOR New York | January 13, 2006
Courtesy of Contributor Ellis Feaster, we have the final show of the late Bob Grant, as heard on 710 WOR. This was recorded from WOR’s HD signal, so in addition to the talents of Mr. Grant, one also gets to hear how AM HD Radio sounds. A bit grainy, as with just about all the…
The True Don Bleu, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | 1979
Restored from mud (because thats how it sounded at first playback), here’s a micro-aircheck of The True Don Bleu, who sounds more upbeat somehow on a subdued 93 KHJ. The clock was ticking toward the upcoming (but nobody knew just yet) Country format the following year, and KHJ still managed to play the hits. I’ve…
Jackson Armstrong, 1050 CHUM Toronto | 1967
Perhaps it was the PAMS signature jingles, the incredible music, the enormous audience or just the mystique surrounding this radio station. But for a time in the 1960s and 70s, no other station in Toronto touched its listeners the way 1050 CHUM did. One of radio’s greats is featured on this worn but wonderful aircheck.…
QuickChexx: Charlie Tuna, 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles | 1979
Good morning, 9:03 with Charlie Tuna, on L.A.’s Original Rock & Roll Radio Station Here’s a very short and somewhat muddy recording that I think was made sometime in 1979. Could have been ’78. Digging around, I (re)found this interesting page on Ten-Q on //www.socalradiohistory.com/. While it doesn’t go into great detail of AM 1020’s…
Sample: 98.7 WKSI Greensboro | August 29, 1999
There’s surprisingly little information about this station, once known as “The New 98-7 The Point”. Its current call letters are WSMW, calls that were once in use in Worcester, Massachusetts, used to identify UHF Television TV CH. 27 in the early 1970s. “The Point” was a Rock-based CHR format with no jingles but a healthy…
Jim Van Horn, 1050 CHUM Toronto | September, 1977
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s a snippet of 1050 CHUM in the salad days of late 70s AM Top 40. Its right after Labor Day weekend so we can nail the date of this recording down to early September, 1977. This is Jim Van Horn, a jock with big pipes and a big city…
