Bob Landree, 56 WHBQ Memphis | 1976
“Firefall, You are the woman and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart, my money, and everything else that I own!…” It’s the middle of the 1970s, arguably the time when WHBQ was at the peak of it’s popularity in Memphis Radio! Disco Duck was on top of the charts, Rick Dees was at…
Sheila – 56 WHBQ Memphis | 1976
“…the boss told me to go out and shake my booty…” Be an Airchexx Supporter! Click below to make a generous donation! It seems that every Top 40 station in the chain of RKO General radio stations had a nearly identical sound. Identical jingle packages, similar slogans and program ‘clocks’. Also nearly identical, is the…
Dave Thompson, 107.3 WRQX Washington | March 22, 1980
Less than a year after changing formats to Top 40 from Album Rock, the station branded as Q107 is upbeat and exciting! Dave Thompson, who had been heard at WXLO 99X in New York City, is running a tight show that’s a lot of fun. Become an Airchexx Supporter! Click below to make a donation!…
Bob Kester, 102.1 WAQY Springfield Ma. | July 3, 2003
Here’s a somewhat noisy and less than a stellar recording made some 45 miles north of Springfield, Mass… The recording unit was an 80s-vintage Sony boombox and the tape used was Maxell UR 90 minute cassette. As sometimes happens, the tape didn’t retain the bright sound it once had. Considering the amount of ‘white noise’…

Marleen Foxx, 107.3 WRQX Washington | February 24, 1979
Something quite rare, donated by Big Apple Airchecks. Here is “Rock 107” during WRQX‘s rather short Album Rock format which ended shortly after this aircheck was recorded. Marleen Foxx is heard with her rather seductive voice (in my humble opinion) giving an impassionate plea to commuters to just stay home if they don’t have snow…
15 Years of Album Rock. 95.5 WPLJ New York | April 22, 1979
This nearly hour-long special aired Saturday and Sunday evenings for the first few months of 1979. The whole special was 48 hours, describing and featuring the great acts of Rock music from the early 1960s to then-present. This is the final hour of that special. Airing during David Fontana’s show, the special was narrated by…
