Bob Merchant; Ched Miller, 1410 CFUN Vancouver BC | 1978
Contributor Neal Bowden checks in with the first recording from him in what seems like several years! There’s something rather RKO-Esque about CFUN. Perhaps its the jingles, or maybe the way the jocks sound on the air. Who consulted CFUN in 1978? Well, this was smack in the middle of CFUN’s second Top 40 era,…
Mike Seldon, 1190 KLIF Dallas | 1972
Running close to 10 minutes in length, here’s a decent quality recording of the legendary 1190 KLIF. As we wrote on another KLIF Composite several years ago, the magic that was Gordon McLendon’s brainchild comes to life once more, with the station’s unique jingles, sounders and personalities. Here’s Mike Seldon. Now, someone out there remembers…
QuickChexx: 900 WDDT Greenville, Mississippi | 1973
Perform a web search for WDDT and about the only thing you’ll find now are the tower coordinates and a mention in the travel guide for Greenville MS. Although, we have to wonder why a travel guide. Is the WDDT tower some place on a historic map? One of the coolest pieces of history associated…
QuickChexx: Bob Gray, 620 WJDX Jackson, Mississippi | 1976
Our friend and Contributor Rob Grayson was, indeed, in Jackson MS before landing his prime gig at 56 WHBQ Memphis. Sent in with no fanfare or description, this is, nonetheless, the first recording of music radio in the deep south, and it really shows that talent and good programming was heard all over the nation…
Composite: 970 WIIN Atlanta | 1970-72
Courtesy of longtime Contributor Karl Phillips, we now have a decent composite of a station that was top 40 for a time, Album Rock for a time and easy listening for a time, before becoming an FM Rock simulcast and then a Christian talker, which the station is today under the call letters WNIV. Our…
MicroChexx: Rhett Walker & Dickie Shannon, 79 WQXI Atlanta | 1976
Wow this is short but what an incredible glimpse to the giant of a radio station WQXI was even in the mid-1970s! Here’s a couple of breaks from my old friend (from Memphis) Rhett Walker, and a couple of quick breaks from Dickie Shannon. This rocks, and so did WQXI! Thanks to longtime contributor Karl…
“The Smoker”, WZZP “Zip 106” Cleveland | September, 1978
Courtesy of Contributor Gus Gossert, Here’s this scope of Zip 106, playing the hits of 1978. You’ll enjoy listening to this and consider that this was another FM doing Top 40 in a time where most of the action was on AM.
QuickCheck: A Sample of L.A. Rock History – 106.7 KPPC Pasadena | June 3, 1966
In researching this scratchy old tape that was obviously recorded from a pressed RECORD made from a recording of KPPC on 6/3/66, I discovered the rich history of 106.7 goes back to 1962 when the Pasadena Presbyterian Church (from which the call letters were derived) first launched this FM station to augment their service on…
