Broadway Bill Lee, 97.1 WQHT New York | May, 1989
“You might’s well write it down, the station that’s heard all over town…” Curator’s Notes: The Airchexx archives are still chocked full of goodies given to us in years past! Contributor Andy Bologovsky sent this one way back when I lived in Tennessee on CD. A pretty good quality recording of “Hot 97” in its…
Freddie Colon, Hot 97 WQHT New York | Summer 1989
WQHT Hot 103 launched in 1986 on 103.5 FM when Top 40 WAPP (Adult Oriented Rock format) went off the air after trying to compete with WHTZ & WPLJ. Hot 103, lasted onthe 103.5 frequency for 2 years, until summer of 1988, when 97.1 WYNY & WQHT flipped frequencies, & WQHT became Hot 97.…

NYC 80s CHR Wars: Sue O’Neil on WQHT
We just gotta throw this in from what we think is one of the most talented (and under appreciated) female jocks in NYC! Currently at Mix 102-7 WNEW, Here’s Sue O’Neil and a bit of her show on Hot 97. Its another thing we didn’t realize about NYC radio during this era until now. A…
NYC 80’s CHR Wars: Al Bandiero on WQHT
“…It’s time to play with the monkey!” Here’s your webmaster’s favorite jock (the one who inspired me to do radio in the first place), kicking off another incredible edition of East Coast Airchecks’ CHR WARS, courtesy of Robyn Watts! Bandiero was and is no stranger to bigtime markets, in fact we have him featured elsewhere…
Composite: Howard Hoffman, Stephanie Miller & Jeff Thomas – 97.1 WQHT New York | 1991
Courtesy of Contributor Robyn Watts, here’s two separate airchecks of 97.1 WQHT spliced into one composite. Both are from “East Coast Airchecks” Tape #84 Side B. Howard Hoffman’s voice is so processed, he almost reminds me of Imus in the Morning, WNBC circa 1981 or so. But no, the real Howard Hoffman, whacky as ever…
“Broadway” Bill Lee, 97.1 WQHT ‘Hot 97’ New York | April 25, 1990
Currently on the legendary 101.1 WCBS-FM, Broadway Bill Lee (WTIC-FM, KFRC, WLOL) holds down the afternoon drive on Hot 97. Note the intensity of this aircheck! Not only that, but looking back, this doesn’t sound Urban, so much as a dance-oriented station. But after all, this was 1990 and Hip Hop would really come into…
Gregg Thunder, 97.1 WQHT “Hot 97” New York | Summer, 1989
It’s been a long while since we visited the fabulously enormous Robyn Watts collection! This is technically un-dated, however based upon the music and one sweeper we believe it to be from June or July 1989. Our visitors are very good guessers, I’m sure this mystery will be solved rather soon. 🙂 Gregg Thunder is…
