New England Composite, October-November 1978
Original Comments: Close your eyes and imagine yourself in Boston. The year is 1978. You start tuning around the radio dial. You start on the AM band, because that’s where your favorite station has been for many years. You stop for a moment at 680. WRKO is still going strong. They call themselves “New England’s…
George Crawford, 1310 WGH Norfolk VA | August 19, 1977
…unusual fact from Crawford’s Almanac Curator’s Notes: Recorded only a few days after the death of Elvis Presley, here’s an aircheck that will evoke strong memories as the Summertime season grinds to a close. The weather in Norfolk is cooler and less humid this day. “The World of Star Trek” contest is still underway…
Dan O’Brien, 1310 WGH Norfolk | 1977
…Number one. With more listeners each week than any other station, AM or FM! Original Comments: It’s been said that the call letters WGH stood for “World’s Greatest Harbor”. Perhaps, in the early days of broadcasting. And it’s true in the sense that Hampton Roads, in general, has perhaps the best harbor in the U.S.,…
Johnny Uran & Ed Rivers , KCLD-FM 104 1/2 St. Cloud | June 30, 1979
As with many FM radio stations, KCLD-FM started out on the AM dial, duplicating the same programming as the AM station. The original station occupying 104.7 was KFAM-FM, sister station to KFAM (AM), launched in 1948. The KCLD-FM call letters were obtained in 1975. While KCLD-FM refers to itself as 104 and a half, it’s…
The “Spaceman”, CHOG AM 640 – “The Beat of Toronto” | September 1, 1995
Curator’s Notes: Not only was CHOG the final CHR in the Toronto market, it was just over one month away from changing formats from CHR to News Talk. Not surprisingly, being on the AM band did nothing to help AM 640 in its transition. The new N/T format suffered from low ratings, as did it’s…
Cousin Bruce Morrow, 77 WABC New York | June, 1965
… maybe it’ll be YOUR name on our big station this coming week! Wouldn’t that be nice? Audio Player below notes Curator’s Notes: I think one of the best things about doing this website all these years is being able to go way back to a time before many of our visitors even began listening…
Harry Harrison, MusicRadio 77 WABC New York | August 9, 1979
Monday morning, Harry Harrison on WABC Audio player below notes. Curator’s Notes Harry Harrison (WMCA/WABC/WCBS-FM) is the featured personality on this particular Monday morning, during a typical sounding day on the old MusicRadio 77 WABC! Sent in by our Contributor, Alan Fletcher, way back in 2005, this recording was featured on WABC…
Seven Hours to Midnight – PM Drive on 750 WSB Atlanta | December 31, 1988
AM 750, WSB, has the strongest signal around….. DEPEND ON IT! Curator’s Notes It’s just before 5 pm as this aircheck opens during the final hours of 1988. This unknown jock gracefully glides through the holiday shift and weaves little hints about the date. We get lots more during the news, read by Roger Cook.…
