Joe Cunningham, WHLO Akron | May 30, 1970
Someone commented on another exhibit that it was so nice back in the old days of AM music stations to be able to travel from one city to another and be able to tune into local and regional, live stations, staffed by talented jocks and newsmen. Looking back, these guys put together a sound that…

WNPQ Canton “Quick 96” | August 1986
Included on a cassette with other northeast Ohio airchecks posted recently was this composite of Rock formatted WNPQ. I’m sure some of our visitors remember, but we can find nothing on the web or elsewhere to indicate the history of this station.

The show name is “The Soulful Journey, the jock…
1060 WRCW Canton | January 2, 1989
WRCW sounds automated on this 3 minute quick scope of AM 1060 Canton. But, this may be deceiving. You can hear what sounds like the start of a 45 rpm record in spots. The station is, as we would term it in today’s digital radio world, ‘jockless’. True, there’s no announcer heard as the station…
Jonathan Holly, 1520 WINW Canton | May 1976
