Pat St. John, 95.5 WPLJ New York – August 28, 1975
This telescoped aircheck really doesn’t do WPLJ justice. It’s somewhat difficult to convey the sound of the station with all the music taken out, except for a few segues. Most people remember WPLJ as one of three album rock (AOR) formatted stations in the New York City area. The audio image most think of when…
Bill Bailey, Morning Drive on 93.1 WDRQ Detroit | November 27, 1974
Bill Bailey (left, shown at WWDJ Hackensack NJ) is featured on this roughly 30-minute telescoped aircheck of the morning show at 93.1 WDRQ Detroit. This came to us on a 12″ reel of tape from the WDRQ skimmer reel machine. It was donated to Airchexx by his wife, Sandy Bailey after finding us while looking…
Dan Ingram, 77 WABC New York | April 28, 1981
What follows is probably the most depressing, eye opening piece of audio which goes far towards explaining part of the reason why WABC needed to change formats to talk little more than a year after this aircheck was recorded. Description Truly, this is as boring as radio ever got in the world of pop music,…
Captain Whammo, 95.5 WMET Chicago | 1978
The audio player directly below will play the telescoped, but long, complete aircheck tape as originally digitized at Big Apple Airchecks. The video is the short edited version. The story of a Christian Radio host which begins here.. as a bad boy Rock n Roll WMET DJ competing with John Records Landecker on WLS in the…
Dan Taylor, 105.1 WMXV “Mix 105” | November 11, 1996
Navigation Note For ALL of our exhibits, you can follow the highlighted links to see more about the station or personality they link to. Description This is really short, mainly because the old “Mix 105″ Adult Contemporary format (1992-1996) was music intensive and even though this is PM drive, and it’s Dan Taylor, his talents…
Bob Vernon, 1220 WGAR Cleveland | 1974
New Yorkers will remember Bob Vernon, or “Vernon with a V” as he called himself, from his years hosting afternoon drive on 66 WNBC. Every time I listen to one of his airchecks, I’m struck by how “strange” a character he seemed to be. Perhaps it was all schtick. Vernon sounds as if he had…
Rex Miller, 1380 KWK St. Louis | August 18, 1961
“This is the Rex Miller Program, the only radio show to ever be reviewed in an obituary column!”
Jackson Armstrong (John Larsh) & the Gorilla, 1020 KTNQ Ten-Q Los Angeles | January, 1979
Graciously donated to airchexx by Big Apple Airchecks, here is more of the BEST of Jackson Armstrong (John Larsh). Recorded on a long cassette featuring one side with fellow Ten-Q jock Dave Conley (WOR-FM/WKOX-FM/KHJ/KFRC), this aircheck shows off Armstrong’s talent. He was the perfect guy to sit in the afternoon drive chair. No jingles, few…
