Peter Butler & The Z Morning Zoo, 98.5 KZOU Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Little Rock’s hit music station here is Zoo 98 – officially, 98.5 KZOU. This encompasses a bit of the Z Morning Zoo featuring Peter Butler, and friends… includes News, Sports and the (scoped) hits of the day. The date of this recording is based upon the birthdays noted shortly after the start of this aircheck.…
Composite: 800 XEROK Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua | 1974
John Long (WAVZ) was the Programming genius behind this short lived but fantastic Top 40 format, leased from the Mexican government on XEROK. Located just across the Rio Grande, this station was a ‘Superpower’ AM like none other. Actually, the real history of this ‘Border Blaster’, as it was called, starts in the early 1940s.…
Michael P., 105.1 KMJX “Magic 105” (Conway) Little Rock | October 23, 1989
“…We’re dealing with goofy middle names today” Like much of the Little Rock radio market as of this writing in 2013, the station formerly known as “Magic 105” has changed formats, this time to Country. But here in 1989, KMJX was a Rock station. Not knowing exactly the form of this format at the time,…
Don Christy, 94.9 KOLL “Kool 95” Little Rock | October 23, 1989
Yet another morning drive of Little Rock radio is presented here, on a tape from California Aircheck contributed by Robyn Watts. Here’s the Don Christy morning show on Kool 95. This is a mainstream Oldies station playing the hits of the 50s, 60s and early 70s. A pretty good sounding station as most Oldies outlets…
Craig O’Neil, 103.7 KKYK Little Rock | October, 1989
We’re guessing on the date of this aircheck as sometime in October, 1989, based upon the news item that Jim Bakker was sentenced to prison the day before this was recorded. (Can’t find the exact sentencing date but the trial lasted six weeks and began in August of 1989, so this is just a guess).…
Allan Sands, 690 WAPE Jacksonville
Courtesy of Robyn Watts, we’re completely unsure of the date on this one, although there are clues contained within this aircheck. Allan Sands(see below for the correction) even has his own jingle. All of which contributes to a stellar recording highlighting the then number one radio station in Jacksonville. Top 40 radio at its very…
Sample: 106.1 WBLI Patchogue NY | June 18, 1997
Lesson: How to edit a 45 minute cassette side down to four and a half minutes? Patience. A CHR/Dance mix format, excellent jock doing PM Drive and jingles that actually sound good and fit the music all highlight this scope, which spans 45 minutes from 3:20 – 4:05PM. Remember that this was on the air…
Michael Sarzynski on 66 WNBC New York | October 23, 1978
Thanks to this late submission from our good friend “Magic” Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks, we can bring you a really GOOD, high quality recording of the late WNBC. 1978… probably the biggest year for Disco music, before the days of disco destruction… and here’s WNBC doing it’s best to compete with crosstown WABC.…
