“Skinny” Tom Chauney, WTIX “The Mighty 690” New Orleans | October 16, 1972
The music is true Top 40, and it’s all over the place from obscure (by today’s standards) slow tunes to hard rock. But, this is how Top 40 sounded at what, arguably, was the peak of AM Top 40 radio.
Sample: 104.1 KHOM Houma (New Orleans) “Mix 104.1” | November 1, 1997
The year on this is 1997 and judging by the pauses between commercials during stop sets, these were still being played from carts.
A Scott Lowe Special: “The Chucker Revolution” | Winter 2009
Contributor Scott Lowe checks in with a fantastic interview with Chuck Kirr, aka “The Chucker”.

Coverage of Hurricane Katrina; WWL 870 AM New Orleans | August 29, 2005
About 24 hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, LA., the stations of Entercom Communications were already in full storm coverage, simulcasting the programming of 870 WWL. History notes the horrific damage done when the storm made landfall. Forecasting these beasts is a challenge, not just for the meteorologists trying to figure out…
QuickCheck: Nick Bazoo on WEZB B-97 New Orleans | 1982
Back in happier times in the Big Easy… Nick Bazoo. The name may not be familiar to those of us outside this market but the voice sure sounds familiar. This is short but a very high-intensity presentation in a tightly scoped aircheck. Talk about hot CHR! This will take you way back to the days…
