Steve Jordan, Natural Neal & Michael O’Connor – 1260 KYA San Francisco | July 13, 1977
If only the East Coast had a Top 40 station like this! Oh… well, besides WABC. We here at Airchexx have put much focus on 610 KFRC as THE dominant station in San Francisco. But, the Bay area had stiff competition for much of the 1970s from crosstown KYA. In 1977, KYA did get close,…
Don K Reed and The Do-Wop Shop, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | October 23, 1994
We’ll let ya in anytime seven to midnight… In the days before Jack-FM, CBS-FM had a number of great Oldies personalities and specialty shows. 1994 was perhaps the middle of the greatest era for this Oldies outlet (thought so by many whom I’ve talked to over the years), and the personalities who called this station…
Program Spotlight: “That Thing With Rich Appel”
You’re probably wondering, is this just another weekend Classic Hits show? You’d be right to ask, but the answer is, NO. that thing is unique, in that unlike other Classic Hits shows, Rich Appel presents the music “in context” with how it was heard during the time when those songs were fresh. You’ll hear vintage…
Danuta, 94.9 KBZT San Diego | Sometime 1980
I wanna remind you about K-Best 95’s series of Friday Night Stereo TV Concerts… 1980 was a year of change in the radio landscape. FM radio was overtaking AM in many markets and San Diego was no exception. Heard here, about a year after changing formats and call letters from a Middle Of the Road…

Jackie Rush, 100.3 KGGG Rapid City SD | August 5, 1992
Rapid City, not being a major market, did have stations with a major market sound to them. You’ll really enjoy hearing Jackie Rush, who sounds warm and loveable! This aircheck came to us on a C-90 cassette. We got it unscoped, but scoped down for presentation here, this runs 11:05 in our custom player (below)…
KDWB Richfield/Minneapolis/St. Paul Sampler | 1980 or 81
Our Contributor sent in two short files, which we are posting in two separate posts. Donald Bohn remembers the details of his recording setup, and we hope he’ll write back and share his thoughts about KDWB, it’s format, jocks, and the signal. Meantime, our Contributor did indeed let us know about his setup: Description by…
Charlie Cook, 1050 WHN New York | November 7, 1977
Charlie Cook is heard holding down the overnight on the old 1050 WHN, Running 30 minutes, scoped, you get the feel of how “New York’s Country Station” sounded in the second half of the 1970s. Notice what Country songs were being played. Much different than the fare being heard in the 80s, just a few…
