Rich Hawkins, WCAU-FM ’98-Now’ Philadelphia | December, 1984
Somewhere in our vault of yet-to-be-posted airchecks, we have more recordings of WCAU-FM, and the ‘Hot Hits’ ™ format from other stations around the country, which consultant Mike Joseph propelled to huge ratings success in the 1980s. For now, however, let us be the beneficiaries of a great show put on my late morning jock…
Harry Chapman on WMPS 680 Memphis | July 19, 1963
Courtesy of Skip Reynolds, CE of Entercom Memphis… Skip tells us he found this tape at the transmitter site of what is now WSMB 680 a while back. This is an original recording of Harry Chapman, the morning man on what was Plough, Incorporated owned WMPS. Listen to the old commercials! We couldn’t recreate the…
Lea Hamilton, 102.7 WVAZ Chicago | July, 1990
“V 103, The Best Variety of Hits and Dustys” Six minutes of Classic Soul are heard here in this 1990 recording showcased by aircheck distributor California Aircheck. Our Contributor donated a large number of these Market Profile tapes to our archives many years ago, and we’re not even close to posting all of them. Note…
Brad Pierce, 550 WGNG Pawtucket (Providence) | 1974
“Nine out of ten prizes have been won in the Win 10 Bin…” This runs just over 5 minutes. But in those 5 minutes, think back to how AM radio sounded like right in the middle of the 70s. AM was still KING. And WGNG is fondly remembered by many as the best hit music…
Composite: 107.9 WXKS-FM Medford (Boston) | February 8, 2000
Its finally 2000. Four years after Telcom ’96 began the steady stream of consolidation of radio groups, most of the major market stations are still live and intact. This is Boston! One of America’s greatest hotbeds of Radio Talent, and one of the best who ever did it, the late, legendary Dale Dorman starts off…
QuickChexx: Terri Hemmert, 93.1 WXRT Chicago | June 12, 1991
A very pleasant voice greets listeners to the Terri Hemmert Show on 93-XRT. Chicago had a really GREAT, Quality Rock station with a wide variety of Rock – at least for a few years. This is very short, just 4:47, all scoped down nicely to comply with copyright law. We comply with the ‘Fair Use’…
QuickChexx: Chip Hobart, 68 WRKO Boston | 1974
Running about 3 minutes, Courtesy of Contributor Steve Bleecker, here’s a short, clean, and well processed WRKO featuring Chip Hobart. I’m guessing the year 1974 here, since the tape came without the date on it. Could be ’73. Somebody knows. WRKO is using their original jingle package. Sparingly. The Drake era was over, and it’s…
Bill Wright, WIBG 990 Philadelphia | August 1, 1966
“Look out everybody, this is hot wax!!!” We begin by warning listeners: The audio quality on this recording is horrible. Despite my best efforts, the tape sounds muddy, grainy, has dropouts and a very strange echo, which I believe is caused by old oxide audio bleedthrough. What I mean by that is, sometimes when a…
