Dan Taylor and the WNBC “Time Machine” | September 12, 1987
Its been said that nobody could imitate WABC’s Dan Ingram. If anyone could get close, though, Dan Taylor could. VERY close! In this edition of the WNBC Time Machine, Larry Scott opens with News On The Hour featuring some interesting stories about people long gone now. Terri Raskin reports WNBC Traffic & Transit, then there’s…
Ed Thomas, 102.5 WSKS Utica | 1997
“Real Power, Real People, Real Music, Real Life, Continuous Music, Kiss-102“ The first jock, heard through most of this short scope, doesn’t mention his name, but he does say that Ed Thomas is coming up, with passes to Great Escape in Lake George, NY. We couldn’t nail down the date of this, either, but the…
Tony Impieri’s “Road Trip ’89”, Part 1 | February 19, 1989
Back in 2005, Contributor Tony Impieri sent in a two part scope of an East Coast road trip in which he recorded radio all the way! Talk about distracted driving! Well, back in 1989 there was no such offense on the books, and we’re thankful for that, since this is a fantastic cross-section of radio…
Quickchexx: Afternoons With Llama, 97.5 KWTX Waco TX | April 24, 2001
Here’s a quick listen to Boy Band-heavy ‘97.5 FM’, a CHR station in Central Texas. There’s not much to describe about this aircheck, other than the main promotion here is “One hundred thousand dollar thursdays”. You’ll just have to listen to the promo to get it. The jock calls himself “Llama”. This recording is just…
Jay Sawyer, 104.7 WALR Atlanta | 1990
New Contributor Jay Sawyer checks in with something different from the Atlanta market. We looked up WALR and found a confusing description online about the station being mainly an Urban outlet, and with different call letters around the time that this recording was made. So, we asked our Contributor for a few more details. Jay…
Sue O’Neal, 98.7 WXLO 99X New York | October 30, 1979
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Tony Impieri, here’s a ‘new’ aircheck featuring Sue O’Neal. It’s in high quality Stereo! Why is that important? Considering the sound of today’s compressed and over processed FM stations, this is very refreshing. I noticed, and I’m betting you will too, that you can hear how good WXLO sounds here. Great…
Leo Knott, 102.3 KJLH Los Angeles | 1984-89
The late Leo Knott contributed this aircheck of himself on KJLH Los Angeles back in 2007. Description by Contributor… This aircheck features myself at Stevie Wonder’s KJLH (Kindness, Joy, Love and Happiness)… My longest stint as a jock. Had nice success with KJLH’s Sunday Oldies Show — (#1 Arbitron. Took my oldies act to KACE,…
Lou Roberts, 920 WOKY Milwaukee | March 23, 1976
Sounding more like this was a demo than an actual broadcast, here’s Lou Roberts playing Milwaukee’s hits one Winter day back in 1976. I swear, you can hear a turntable rumble on this recording. This was definitely not recorded off the air. It could have been a skimmer reel pulling the audio right off the…
