Format Change: Mellow Rock KNX-FM Los Angeles flips to CHR as HitRadio 93 | August 25, 1983
Perhaps the most coveted aircheck on this site from Los Angeles is this format change of 93.1 FM from ‘Mellow Rock’ KNX-FM to “HitRadio 93” KKHR. Your webmaster’s experience with CBS Radio’s ‘Mellow Rock’ format is from Boston, where 103.3 WEEI-FM was Boston’s “Soft Rock”. In that case, WEEI-FM took a month to do a…
Old Gold 2 | Upper Midwest Sampler | 1971
Old Gold… its the title of an FM format on WHFI Detroit heard about 2 minutes into this composite. Its an accurate description of this compilation. There is one station that’s out of place here… first on the tape is from Birmingham, AL. There’s so much on this particular collection of airchecks its hard to…
Old Gold 1 | Upper Midwest Sampler, 1971
First added to this site in mid-2003. This is the first in a series of assorted airchecks that I’d like to simply call “Old Gold”. One listen and you’ll know why. This is volume 1. It features airchecks of various upper midwest stations from 1971. Among the stations you’ll hear in Volume 1: WDRQ, WAAM…
Don Geronimo on WPGC Washington DC | 1980
WPGC today is an Urban station, but back in 1980 it was a very hot top 40 station… and on FM no less! Here, Don Geronimo sounds great, after a stint in New York on 99X. He would later end up at WAVA, along with the likes of Tom Kent and Chris Taylor, among others.…
Don Geronimo on WXLO 99X New York | 1976
From the heyday of New York’s 99X, comes this aircheck featuring up and coming Don Geronimo (of Don & Mike fame). Geronimo went on to work at WPGC Washington DC, and later WAVA Arlington (VA) before ending up at WJFK doing syndicated talk. Compare this with the WAVA aircheck elsewhere on this site and see…
Composite: KJR Seattle “Channel 95” | 1966-1970
Much of this is original material donated in the Summer of 2002, in our first year on the web. Contributor Rhett Walker was there, and he remembers the fun at KJR fondly. A couple of segments in this have been available elsewhere on the web, other parts haven’t seen the light of day until now.…
Frazier Smith’s Wake-Up Call with Jim & Joni, KRTH K-Earth 101 Los Angeles | March, 2002
Good radio seems to be rare here in the 21st century, but there are those moments of greatness that need to be pointed out. From March, 2002, we bring you this excerpt from the Frazier Smith morning show on K-Earth 101. Now, this demonstrates, more than anything, that the team is perhaps more important than…
QuickChexx: Rob Grayson, WMC-FM 100 (99.7) Memphis
While this was submitted without a date, something tells me that it was recorded sometime around the 2006-07 timeframe, likely just after your webmaster left the station – and Memphis – for good. Here’s another glimpse into FM-100’s “Whatever Weekend”, a take on the once wildly popular ‘Jack-FM’ format. Really, just a retro 80s/90s classic…
