Calling 95 KIMN Denver popular, might be an understatement. It is a Denver radio legend that, in the mid 60’s, overwhelmed the competition with a 56 share of the audience! KIMN could be heard in New Mexico, Nebraska and South Dakota. At […]
Features John Drakes on a Saturday Morning, a Full Newscast, and Two-Time KIMN vet Chuck Buell (WLS) in the final segment.
Digging deep into the Airchexx archives, we find this two sided cassette donated by longtime contributor Nick Sarames several years ago. While I called this “California Composite”, this does include many other markets, mainly west of the Mississippi. Most of these include […]
What do we do with an aircheck that doesn’t fit anywhere else? Just post with very little comment. Actually, our newest Contributor, Drake McDonald Davis was kind enough to write the liner notes for this very short but high quality recording of […]
A radio station with a name – ALICE. Well, surely its a long way from Alice’s Restaurant but Arlo Guthrie would probably like this if he were listening today. Imagine, a live night show on a younger-skewing Adult Contemporary station. Thats what […]
A great jock can do any format, as proven here by Big Ron O’Brien.. heard here doing COUNTRY, of all things! But this is Big Ron and the approach is the same no matter what kind of music he plays. That personality […]

KLDR, Denver – “Someplace Special”. We’ve stumbled upon a short-lived AM music station which did evolve into Top 40 into the early 80s from this – whatever format this is. It sounds Middle Of the Road or Adult Contemporary, but really, A […]
Here’s a really FUN Afternoon Drive show! Not knowing much about these two jocks, I’ll let the audience comment below and fill in the blanks. Its the 5:00 hour and the topic of the afternoon is, “How did you meet your in-laws?” […]
Here’s the longtime host of the current “Loren and Wally” morning show in Boston, at his prior gig in Denver. Owens has this really dry sense of humor that is evident in parts of this aircheck showcasing his morning show on KIMN. […]
