Howard Hoffman, 77 WABC New York | January 1980
In late 1979, the winds of change were blowing through MusicRadio 77 WABC. People were spending more time listening to FM radio, and the once mighty WABC, was seeing it’s numbers drop. WABC management thought changes were needed save the station. One of the most painful parts of that transition was what has become known…
Dale Dorman & JoJo Kincade, Kiss 108 WXKS-FM Boston | 1983

Greaseman, DC101 WWDC Washington | 1985
There are three radio personalities, who normally work alone, who have blown me away with what they can do on the radio. All 3 make it look so easy. First is Gene Shepherd, who would tell stories on the radio every night on WOR, and he kept me riveted for a whole hour. Second…

FINAL Dan Ingram Radio Show, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | September 16 2007
I’m warning right up front, that this aircheck is a little hard to listen to. It’s Dan Ingram’s final radio show. WCBS-FM had returned to it’s “modified Oldies” format 3 months earlier, after the Jack FM debacle. Dan was invited back to host a weekend show. You can hear Dan’s wit is still intact,…
Dan Ingram FIRST SHOW, 101 WCBS-FM New York | October 19 1991
If you grew up in the metro New York City in the 1960s, or 70s, you probably listened to Dan Ingram. He hosted afternoon drive on WABC for 20 amazing years. (He also hosted morning drive for one year, but everyone seems to have forgotten that!) After Musicradio 77 left us in May 1982,…
A Sample of KPTY “Party Radio @ 103-9” Phoenix | September 12, 1998; 7:25 – 8:10 PM
The station wasn’t around very long – 1997-2000, but it did make it’s mark on the Phoenix market.

Jim Elliott & Scott Woodside, first teamed up at Washington’s WPGC AM & FM in 1978, and they quickly became a sensation. For most of their eight years together, Elliott and Woodside enjoyed high ratings and were each believed to be earning $200,000 annually. They were so popular in the early 1980s, Q107 WRQX…
