HitOldies – The Official Classic Hits Station of Airchexx.com
Airchexx is nothing less than a museum of how radio stations used to sound in the 1960s through the 1990s, with clips of stations even beyond that – into the 2000s. With radio getting to the point where it really does sound bland, and lifeless at so many stations, we thought we’d show you…
Machine Gun Kelly, Oldies 93 KCBS-FM Los Angeles | Date unknown
Its always great to hear the gunner, and this is no exception… but why does your webmaster detect a hint of Dan Ingram sarcasm in Kelly’s delivery? Were it not for this exceptionally orchestrated set of KCBS-FM jingles and Southern California traffic reports, one could easily imagine being on the east coast and listening to…
Shotgun Tom Kelly, 1170 KCBQ San Diego | Sometime, 1974
From a tape (yep, a cassette!) given to me by the one and only Rich Brother Robbin (at left) back around 2005 or so while we were working in the same Entercom group of stations, this is an outstanding copy of something I had to literally BEG the famous KCBQ and (at the time we…
Amateur Radio – This is NOT The Way Normal Hams Operate. Recorded 9.13.2024
Here’s another in a series of “Other Radio” posts regarding Amateur (otherwise known as “Ham”) Radio. When someone mentions Ham Radio, most people normally think of CW (Morse Code).

The Founder’s Blog #2: 9.11.2001 and the Inside Workings of a Radio News Network
As I write this, today is September 11. Many radio stations will have short memorial productions about the event, but for the majority of stations on the air today, it’s’ just business as usual. This is especially true of most FM music stations. Today’s music stations have neither the staff nor the time to produce…
Airchexx.com Presents: 9/11 Remembered
…This just in, a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center in New York… Webmaster’s note: It’s now 15 long years since the attacks and it’s tempting to back off and remove this tribute. Times are changing. Young adults of voting age who were toddlers when the attacks happened are here who have no…
KYW 1060 Philadelphia Remembers September 11 – The Tragedy and The Courage
23 Years ago today, our country was viciously attacked in a way we never thought could happen. They hit us at our most vulnerable. The New York City skyline changed forever, and we Americans lost our innocence. The 9/11 attacks were documented in more detail than any event in American history. There is video available…
The Founder’s Blog: The Way I See It, #1
With everything going on around me (tons, when you’re about to close on a home), I’m still thinking about WCBS 880. People are still WRITING about WCBS 880. Eventually, the noise will calm down and everyone will go on about their business. It’s too bad that radio companies don’t make decisions based upon the reaction…
