This particular aircheck is the continuation of Part 1. Because of that, we’re going to use the same write-up that we used in the first one… but before that, we’ve got a few descriptions of THIS aircheck. “Maybe we can get a job on WPLJesus” Highlights Here in this second hour of Todd & Jayde,…
WPLJ Reunion Day, Part 1 – Todd & Jayde in the Morning, Hour 1 | May 30, 2019
95.5 WPLJ‘s next to last day broadcasting as a commercial pop music station. It was reunion day, as the station invited back dozens of people who worked on air at the various format variations of WPLJ going back to it’s inception in 1971. There are balloons everywhere, celebrating all these people getting fired The end…
Jay Thomas, 92.3 WKTU New York | September 1, 1983
The station at 92.3 has a rich history, going back to 1948 when it first signed on in the 48 mHz band. Since 1985, the station has more or less been some form of hard rock station. Much of that time it was known as K-Rock, and for a time Howard Stern was syndicated from…
Honoring WPLJ: Pat St. John, 95.5 WPLJ New York | August 28, 1975
This is a surprising aircheck. For those of you who remember WPLJ as a ‘hard rock’ station, this should dispel that myth. WPLJ was an Album Rock station. Or, “Progressive” as the purists would insist. Notice that Pat St. John says the slogan, “New York’s Best Rock”. Well, in 1975, the very term “rock” applied…
Bob Pittman, 66 WNBC New York | September 11, 1977
Here’s the current Chairman and CEO of iHeart Media, Inc. from his days as the Program Director of WNBC! Pittman’s resume is extensive and available elsewhere. Ironic that this recording shares another, much more infamous date. We’ll leave the twist of historical fate to the reader. Ok. So, this is “The NEW WNBC“. What’s new…
Fast Jimi Roberts, 99.5 WGAY Washington DC | April 16, 1999
My name is Fast Jimi. New Radio Station, New DJ… The WGAY call letters were essentially history except for this first day or two. 99.5 was called “Jammin 99-5” right out of the box, but as you’ll hear, the station is running a contest to ‘name the station’. Become an Airchexx Supporter! Help keep classic…
Mike Waite, 105.1 WPJB “JB 105” Providence | March 22, 1979
Here’s a very short clip, too short even for the Top of the Hour ID. WPJB for a time towards the end of its reign as Providence’s Top 40 GIANT, branded itself “Music Power – JB 105!!”. The Top Hour ID was larger than life, and JB 105, while you don’t hear it on this…
Don Geronimo, 95.5 WPGC-FM Washington DC | March 19, 1980
WPGC Morningside. Well, they say its darkest just before the dawn. Or, in this case, the station was hottest just before the end. The station would eventually become an Urban Contemporary station and shed its longtime Top 40/CHR format as the 80s unfolded. Here, in the first quarter of 1980, Don Geronimo proves that this station…
