Dave Otto, KALC “Alice 105-9” Denver, Night Show | June 30, 2006
A radio station with a name – ALICE. Well, surely its a long way from Alice’s Restaurant but Arlo Guthrie would probably like this if he were listening today. Imagine, a live night show on a younger-skewing Adult Contemporary station. Thats what we have here, although one might suspect this is more of an audition…
Al Gates, Morning Drive, WRKO AM/FM Boston | June 19, 1967
Al Gates is featured in this excellent copy of then-new Bill Drake WRKO. Interesting items on this recording are reverb, which sounds fantastic and not overdone and a simulcast with its FM sister station on 98.5. Historic mentions (Bostonians will especially remember) Curt Gowdy doing sports… although he’s not heard, just announced during news. Gates…
94 WYSP Philadelphia | June 14, 1985
Back in ’85, I was commuting back and forth every weekend from Norfolk, VA to my hometown in Massachusetts. It was my weekend escape from the Navy, when my ship was actually in port and not underway somewhere. From about Dover, Delaware up to about midway up the NJTP (about 50 miles from NYC), I…
John Mack Flanagan, 1330 KHYT Tucson | March 3, 1969
Date of Recording: March 3, 1969 Station: 1330 KHYT Tucson Featured Air Talent: John Mack Flanagan Contributor: Bob Jones Aircheck Entry: 1,410 Comments: The Big 133 K-Hits has that distinct Drake sound! Perhaps much of the station’s success had to do with the John Flanagan show. Here’s John now, doing the format but also throwing…
QuickCheck: J.J. Wright, WXKS-FM Kiss-108 FM Boston | 1990
Thanks again to Robyn Watts for this four minute flashback to J.J. Wright’s afternoon drive show on Richie Balsbaugh’s ORIGINAL Kiss station (not Clear Channel’s copycats). Wright sounds great on this all-too-short recording. This is from an era of great sweepers and very tasty jingles. Wish there was more… This tape is from one of…
Composite: WXLK K-92 FM Roanoke VA | May 1988
Certainly not a major market, but this city snuggled in the mountains of southwest Virginia was home to some good radio. Here’s nearly 10 minutes of CHR K-92 FM, a composite covering most of a broadcast day. This was a GOOD sounding station with real variety, thundering production and those good ole’ JAM jingles!
John Mack Flanagan, 98.1 KBGG San Francisco | June, 1994
Date of Recording: June, 1994 (Exact Date Unknown) Station: 98.1 KBGG San Francisco (Current KISQ, Former KABL-FM) Featured Air Talent: John Mack Flanagan Contributor: John Mack Flanagan Aircheck Entry: 1,409 Comments: Contributor and legendary Bay Area personality John Mack Flanagan returns with a glimpse into a station which he says was his final full time…
Lonnie Davis, Bumper Morgan & Ray Davis, WWSW 3WS AM/FM Pittsburgh
While the audio is perfectly normal for a typical Oldies outlet in the Steel City, there’s some mystique surrounding a radio station which there’s no date printed on the recording. We hear Bumper Morgan once, Lonnie Davis once, and a promo for Bill Worthington, but otherwise this is a rather ho-hum run of the mill…
