Brad Michaud & the JB105 Top 35 Countdown, 105.1 WPJB Providence | 1981
JB105 is a HOT rocking station at this point. The first thing you'll notice is that most of the music is uptempo. The second thing is the station's processing was juiced so that it was loud.

Imus in the Morning; News from Sam Hall & Charles McCord, 66 WNBC New York | August 26, 1977
The obvious draw of this aircheck is the news department. News features prominently in this nearly 18 minute long scope from the Summer of '77

Listen for Jim Stevens playing the hits, then "Double L News at 25, with an all-of-a-sudden very serious Jim Stevens reporting.

EJ (Joe) Crummey Produces and Co-Hosts the Wolfman Jack Show, 66 WNBC New York | February, 1986, Part 2
Here's PART 2 in our series of AM-Stereo airchecks. WNBC used the Khan-Hazeltine AM Stereo system and while the transmitting plant itself was finely tuned and well-processed by NBC's top-notch engineers, heard on a (then) modern, wideband AM Stereo receiver, this sounds BETTER than modern processed FM stations!

EJ (Joe) Crummey Produces and Co-Hosts the Wolfman Jack Show, 66 WNBC New York | February, 1986, Part 1
Listen to how Crummey's banter and production skills make this show sound 100% live, local and relevant. This is quite amazing, especially when one realizes that in the mid-1980s, computer automation was still more than a decade away, and producing a show such as this required precision timing, quick thinking and a lot of cart (tape) machines!

Nancy Plum, 710 KMPC Los Angeles | February 2, 1980
One of the first things you'll notice about this is how very laid back the station is. I would describe the format as, "loose".

Jim Collins for E.J. Crummey Overnight, 66 WNBC New York in AM Stereo | August 18, 1986
The subject of THIS aircheck is the great Jim Collins, who would soon after this was recorded, be part of the WNBC Time Machine.

Steve Skipp, 102.9 WDRC-FM 103 Hartford | December, 1981
This is a very short aircheck, just over 3 minutes. It could have been a demo tape of Skipp.
