Dancin’ Danny Wright, 104.3 KEBQ Kansas City
Who knew Danny Wright was such a hot CHR jock! Here’s a GREAT composite of a weekday featuring Dancin’ Danny Wright on Q104.3 Kansas City. Here’s the best of the decade of big hair and fantastic jingles, courtesy of new contributor Dave Erwin! Your task, as listeners, is to identify: 1. The jingles. Company and…
Mike St. John, 98.1 WOGL “Oldies 98” Philadelphia, Part 1 | September 9, 2001
From new Contributor Joseph Anthony, a two-part clip of WOGL and it’s original OLDIES format featuring the hits from 1955-1975. While it seems like Oldies has been dying a slow death, actually it’s only been the past five years or so that the 50s and 60s music has been replaced and the format morphed into…
Brian & Joe on WENZ 107-9 The End Cleveland | August 13, 1992
Brian & Joe bring in Cleveland’s Mayor (White?) for an interview on the occasion of his birthday. It’s a good recording featuring callers and some silliness. Thanks Robyn Watts for another great contribution!
Jackson Armstrong, 1050 CHUM Toronto Composite 1968-69
Canada, as the United States, had it’s ‘golden Top 40’ age during the 1960s and 70s, and perhaps no other Canadian radio station had greater success with the format than Toronto’s 1050 CHUM. Imagine, a radio station that had so much success as a music station that it launched its own music company. Perhaps all…
“Smokin’” Joe Dawson on WBBM-FM Chicago | February 4, 1986
Dawson’s pace is perfect for this high-energy taste of FM Top 40!. Remember, WLS was STILL a Rock station, so there was a lot riding on the success of WBBM-FM. And, as one of our visitors pointed out, this isn’t actually the Hot Hits!(tm) era, but quite ‘hot’ nonetheless.
Al Bandiero on WKTU (92-KTU) New York | Sometime 1985
The date which accompanied this particular aircheck says February ’79. Obviously wrong, but this is another great aircheck from your webmaster’s favorite DJ (yea, the guy who inspired me to go into radio in the first place… to think of all the instability I could have avoided… thanks Al!). This is from 1985 – proven…
Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | July 16, 1961
It’s the SWINGIN’ sound of 77 Radio in New York! From the earliest days of WABC’s Top 40 format and one of Dan Ingram’s first broadcasts, here’s the beginning’s of what would become one of the most popular Top 40 stations in broadcasting history. This opens with a promo for Herb Oscar Anderson’s morning show,…
Table recording: KMOD Tulsa | September 1, 1977
Thus labelled because our contributor, Scott Carr, recorded this with a mic placed in front of a radio speaker. Actually, Scott explains in his own words… I spent the summer of 1977 out in Tulsa, OK (I’m from Eastern Penna). At the time, I was 23 years old, and thinking about getting into radio. On…
