Ron Brittain, WTMX “101.9 The Mix” Chicago | September 25, 1992
From Robyn Watts, here’s Ron Brittain on WTMX Chicago. The scoped music played in this exhibit shows a very laid back station, back in the days when AC REALLY meant soft, adult oriented hits. Listen all the way through on this one, and see if you can guess the ‘Secret Sound’.
Bill Brown, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | December 22, 1988
Bill Brown began his tenure at the Golden 101 in 1969 and stayed with CBS-FM for 36 years! He was displaced in 2005, when the station ditched Oldies for the failed “Jack-FM” Variety Hits format which lasted just under two years. Brown only goes by his first name, Bill. His is a warm personality, with…
Jeff Christie, WIXZ 1360 McKeesport PA | 1971
A long time ago, Contributor Mike Donovan sent in this ultra-rare recording of “The Jeff Christie Radio Network”. Confirming what appears to be the largest ego ever to grace a radio speaker, this is unmistakably the pre-talk show work of one Rush Limbaugh. Ok, critique from a jock’s point of view… not bad, although you…
The “Sunday Funnies”, 104.5 CHUM-FM Toronto | 1986
Courtesy of new Contributor “Jay”, who sent this in without his last name and only with a download link to this in his collection, here’s something truly unique! The Sunday Funnies were aired on many AOR, Progressive and the evolving Active Rock stations of the mid-80s. CHUM-FM, if you believe the wikipedia version of history…
MicroChexx: Mucho Morales, KPWR Los Angeles | November 8, 1988
Michael Jackson is still a hot artist – perhaps at the top of his game, in fact, Power 106 is promoting the 2nd night of the Michael Jackson concert the following night. Mucho Morales is featured here, but within the first few seconds, Jay Thomas (WXLO, Sirius/XM) voices a promo for his morning show. This…
Batt Johnson, WRVR/WKHK Country 106.7 New York | Undated
Originally posted on 10/15/04 in Real Audio format. No date given on this one. Batt Johnson (WNBC, WYNY) is heard on the Country incarnation of 106.7 under the WRVR, then WKHK calls. This is a very AC/MOR sounding Country format. Unable to penetrate the New York City market dominated by rival 1050 WHN, 106.7 would…
WYHY Y-107 Nashville gets featured on 48 Hours | 1989
Sometime in the late 1980’s, the evening news program ’48 Hours’ did a segment on top 40 radio. Or, should I say, outrageous radio. Y-107 was so outrageous, it was prominently featured as a classic example of ‘sinful’ lifestyle (yes, Jerry Falwell was shown preaching against it.). This is priceless, if only to showcase just…
Loren Owens on KIMN “Denver 95” | April 2, 1979
Here’s the longtime host of the current “Loren and Wally” morning show in Boston, at his prior gig in Denver. Owens has this really dry sense of humor that is evident in parts of this aircheck showcasing his morning show on KIMN. Morning shows were quite different back in ’79, just one guy doing a…
