HitOldies – The Official Classic Hits Station of Airchexx.com
Airchexx is nothing less than a museum of how radio stations used to sound in the 1960s through the 1990s, with clips of stations even beyond that – into the 2000s. With radio getting to the point where it really does sound bland, and lifeless at so many stations, we thought we’d show you…
Steve West’s “Sunday Morning Time Machine”, 105-9 WMEX-LP Rochester NH | June 25, 2023
I’ve started archiving some of my latest work so that it’s here, both for demo purposes, and for historic purposes. It occurs to me, at this point in time, the radio industry is in great peril. Not that those of us inside the business haven’t thought that for quite a while, but now, there’s a…
Steve West, WGAM/WGHM Nashua/Manchester NH | June 10, 2023
I just started a new version of “The Time Machine” only two weeks prior to this aircheck on WGAM. The station is jockless the rest of the time and maintains a traditional Oldies format. Songs of the 1960s through the early 1980s.

Of course, it helped a lot that Dale participated on TWO…

At 660 in New York, WNBC was sold off to Emmis in 1988, which subsequently shut it down to make room for WFAN to move from 1050 to 660. For most, it’s old news – the story of WNBC’s rise and fall well documented both on this website (the list of available airchecks is via…
Young & Elder in the Morning, 105.9 WGKX Kix 106 Memphis | June 10, 2003
Somehow, this airbrushed photo and straight from the skimmer machine recording escaped my attention all these years, only to reappear recently as I was going over a CD I thought contained a different set of historic airchecks. Here’s the Young & Elder show from the early Summer of 2003. At this point in the evolution…
