QuickChexx: Brant Miller, 94.7 WYTZ “Z-95” Chicago | June, 1990
Its the Summer of 1990, Chicagoland is gearing up for the 4th of July, and Z-95 is HOT! One would never know by listening to this aircheck that even with Brant Miller doing a killer job on the Z, the BEE crosstown was cleaning WYTZ’s clock in the ratings. So badly, in fact, that just…
QuickChexx: Bobby Skafish, WLUP Chicago
Sent in a long time ago by Robyn Watts, here’s a short recording of Bobby Skafish on Chicago’s Loop FM 98, as they called it back then. When was then? While not marked on the tape, we’ll take an uneducated guess of the early 1980s, perhaps 1981. Someone knows, there are clues. There’s no mention…
Sample: 99.5 WGAY (Silver Spring, MD) Washington DC | July 4, 1997
A crystal clear recording is what we’re treated to on the old Soft Rock station at 99.5 FM. One would think that since 1997 was just yesterday (wasn’t it?) that one of the old WGAY logos would be out there somewhere, but multiple searches in different engines come up with the current CHR station, “Hot…
Dale Knippers, 103.7 WSOC Charlotte – 2001
New Contributor Dale Knippers debut aircheck is actually a 5 minute scope of his show on 103.7 WSOC. WSOC has been a Country station for a long time, starting way back in 1971. It was once the home of the late Bill Dollar, and has been re-branded more than a few times over the years.…
MicroChexx: 1050 CHUM Toronto, First Day as Gold-Based AC | June 6, 1986
What follows is all that could be salvaged from two sides of a C-60 cassette featuring music from the first day of the then-new AC format at 1050 CHUM. We don’t feature the music on this website, but endeavor to bring you as much of the radio station’s imaging, the ‘sound between the records’, so…
Celebrate CCC Day – The End of Rock at 106.9 WCCC Hartford, Part 4 | August 1, 2014
The final broadcast of WCCC. What, really can one say? Another one bites the dust, perhaps? Mike Karolyi brought so many people who worked at “The Rock” into the studio that it sounded more like a typical morning show. Voices coming and going. Laughter. Tears. Voices who literally choked up on the mic. To say…
Joe Pinner on 1230 WNOK Columbia SC | November 26, 1959
From somewhere deep in the bowels of the airchexx archives (which consists of three crates with hundreds of loose cassettes) comes this excellent recording of one Joe Pinner with a DEEP announcer voice playing top 40 hits – if you can call this all standards presentation ‘top 40’. Perhaps it was, considering the time and…
