Celebrate CCC Day – The End of Rock at 106.9 WCCC Hartford, Part 2 | 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…
Celebrate CCC Day – The End of Rock at 106.9 WCCC Hartford, Part 1 | August 1, 2014
Mike Karolyi hosts the final-ever broadcast of Rock 106.9 WCCC. A lot of guests make up this final show, and Karolyi wasted no time whatsoever in bringing out the heavyweights. Howard Stern is the first guest on right at 1pm as this gets rolling. Howard and Mike talk for about 10 minutes about his time…
Kelly Tyler, WZNF Lumberton MS | January 11, 2008
A correction as to the contributor of this aircheck is in order. This was sent in by longtime Contributor Jeffrey James. Not Rich Brother Robbin, as previously stated. Sorry for the mixup! I can not tell you much about this radio station, other than sometime earlier this year it flipped to CHR as “The Gorilla”.…
John Jacobs, 106.9 WWVV “The New Wave – Adventure Radio”, Bluffton SC | February 2, 1999
Recorded in 1999, we join the last few minutes of Nina Blackwood’s Absolutely 80s show. Its one of those syndicated things that plays on weekends. Note, the ‘nbgradio.com’ web address given out by Blackwood is not in use – it leads to buydomains.com. At 10am (in this aircheck), John Jacobs takes over. WWVV markets itself…
The Top 5 At 10 – A Sample of WSSX Charleston, SC | July 28, 1998
I wish I could tell you who the jock is on this aircheck, but in the 45 minutes of the original recording, he never says his name once. No jock imaging is heard… nothing! But its obvious from this 6-plus minute scope that 95-SX is all about the music and their audience. We join the…
“Stuck In The 80s Weekend”, 99.9 WFKS Palatka, FL | February 6, 1999
As happens a lot in today’s consolidated radio world, WFKS “Kiss-FM” has moved around a bit, and now sits on 97.9 FM. 99.9 is a Country music station these days and goes by the name Gator Country – WGNE-FM. But what happened to this radio station is a mystery. The FCC database says 99.9 changed…
The Chris Kelly Show, 1310 WXXX, Hattiesburg MS | 1963
“…At 6:30, the brand new WXXX disc jockey. He goes by the name of the Silent Man” Not to be confused by a certain FM station in Burlington Vermont using these call letters, this amazing little AM station was Top 40 before some of the biggest Top 40 legendary stations in North America were. Its…
Bwana Johnny, 1260 KYA San Francisco | 1969
No serious discussion of the history of San Francisco Top 40 radio would be complete without acknowledging the contributions of 5,000 watt 1260 KYA. Nobody will dispute that 610 KFRC was the reigning king of Top 40. Its powerful signal, with the longer 610 khz wavelength travelled much further and penetrated buildings better. It had…
