QuickCheck: Artie “the One Man Party, 94.5 WZOU Boston | May 1992
The date on this aircheck is unkown (we suspect ’91 or so), but Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks dug it up special for us… Sunny Joe White was what this was labelled but … hey, we don’t hear him, except perhaps a cameo in the beginning. Lots of high energy packed into about 4…
J. Michael Fox & Tom Jeffries on 94.5 WZOU Boston | August 13, 1986
For the fans, this is VINTAGE Z-94! Across town, CBS had just thrown in the towel on Hitradio 103 WHTT, moving it to AAA right around the time of this aircheck. As you’ve read elsewhere on this site, WZOU nearly went back to rock, but gave CHR new life when their crosstown rival cashed out.…
QuickCheck: 94.5 WZOU Boston | August 23, 1991
It was the waning days of CHR at 94.5. WZOU would eventually morph into Urban WJMN “Jammin’ 94.5, which is still on the air today. Very music intensive, much less talk and personality oriented than it used to be, you can tell that this station is in it’s final days. While she doesn’t say her…
MicroChexx: A Sample of 100.7 WZLX Boston
Found on an unlabeled tape that I believe was recorded from the town of Tully, Massachusetts using an FM Beam antenna sometime in 1998, here is a very short, noisy scope of 100.7 WZLX. There’s not much I can tell you about this except there was a bit of Tropo enhancement, and my Radio DX’ing…
Dick Summer, WBZ 1030 Boston | August, 1964
Often times, we obtain an aircheck and then the person featured sends in a better copy. Such was the case with this. The original copy was sent in way back in the first year of this website’s existence. Then Dick Summer himself sent this much better quality recording in a few years later. So, here…
98.5 WROR Boston becomes WBMX Mix 98.5 | 1991
Your webmaster has always wondered why it is that radio companies can’t respect heritage call letters. Well, here’s another set of calls that went away in 1992– at least off the 98.5 frequency. WROR was the FM station to WRKO until RKO General was forced to sell off all it’s radio properties. Before WROR they…
Boston FM Composite: 1983
Here’s a quarter hour worth listening to. Starting with the great Joe Martelle, on the old 98.5 WROR, this goes back and forth between WROR and 103.3 WEEI-FM. Just two years before this was recorded, WROR had just morphed into a soft, personality AC from its days of automated Oldies. The fun part of this…
105.7 WVBF Framingham / Boston (F-105) Fantasy Parade | 1977
Here’s a very interesting aircheck of Fairbanks Communications’ then recently-retooled WVBF as Top 40 “F-105”. The ‘check starts out with some strainge sounding robot promos (for lack of a better word), then moves into Frank Kingston Smith opening the F-105 Fantasy Parade in Framingham… conducted from the station rooftop. Sure sounds like they had a…
