Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | November 4, 1961
This one goes back nearly to the beginning of what would be one of the most famous Top 40 radio stations in the world. Dan Ingram held down Afternoon Drive on WABC for most of the 22 years of it’s existence as a music station, and here you can listen to how he sounded in…
Dan Ingram, MusicRadio 77 WABC | June, 1970
Whenever we run across any WABC or Dan Ingram airchecks, we have to go through the vast archives here at this repository first, before even bothering to work with it, to ensure that we haven’t run across it before. Well, here’s yet another gem that turned up in the archives of our biggest Contributor, Big…
Joel Sebastian, Late Evening Lead-In to Wolfman Jack, 66 WNBC New York City | May, 1985
From the late Gary Blau collection provided by Lee Chambers, this 45 minute aircheck in AM Stereo is sure to please everyone who appreciated the state of Top 40 radio in the mid 1980s! This aircheck has a lot of special things to offer… First off, because of the incredibly high quality audio that this…
Nancy Plum, KTNQ (1020) “Ten Q” Los Angeles | January 27, 1979
A box of tapes arrived in the mail in January. I was a bit surprised, but then remembered that Nancy Plum had promised to send some airchecks a little over a year ago. Here’s the first of dozens of donated airchecks. It’s Nancy Plum herself on Ten-Q from what I feel was one of the…
Steve Warren, WGLF Tallahassee “Gulf 104” | 1979
Steve Warren sent in what might be the only aircheck available of the old “Gulf 104” Top 40 format. Going back so far that listeners remember 8 track tapes and black and white television. Or, one might think. This is a fairly tightly scoped aircheck. Notice, no jingles, and what really sounds like a hybrid…
Bob Shannon, 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | August, 1990
The late Bob Shannon (Don Bombard) is featured here in another never-posted anywhere before aircheck from PM drive, sometime in August, 1990. Phil Pepe has his picks for this week’s Yankees and Mets players of the week (so, we know it’s not March, as the recording was labelled), and there are other clues as to…
Ken Gilbert, Morning Drive, 97.1 WZRT “Z-97” Rutland VT | August 9, 1995
From the Ken Gilbert collection, here’s another Z-97 aircheck from Ken’s box of tapes. Ken Gilbert has been on New England radio stations for half a century! (don’t tell him I put it that way, he think’s he’s still 21!). The list of stations he was on include WDRC AM & FM Hartford, WAQY Springfield,…
Ron Lundy, Midday Show, MusicRadio 77 WABC New York | March 18, 1980
Courtesy of Contributor Steven Green, here’s an excellent quality recording of the legendary Ron Lundy, just being himself on 77 WABC. It may be 1980, but WABC is still the top 40 station everyone grew up with. That would change later in the year with the addition of Yankees baseball, which displaced night driver Howard…
