Johnny Edwards, WLKQ 102.3 Buford, GA | 1997
Just a few breaks of Johnny Edwards grace this micro-short aircheck of “Lake 102” from the Atlanta market. Contributed by Jay Sawyer, this good quality aircheck showcases a decent sounding gold-based format, of which we’d like to hear more of. Today, WLKQ is Spanish, known as “La Raza 102.3/100.1” Aircheck #1,366 since May 2, 2002!…
Steve West Counts Down the Top 500 of All Time, 2015 Edition. Part 7, #157 to 96 | May 25, 2015
Our Top 500 of all time was presented in 8 parts over the Memorial Day weekend on hitoldies.com. Its become a tradition, not only here, but at many other radio station tribute sites on the web. I consider this to be one of the best countdown shows each year. I presented segment number 2 on…
Steve West Counts Down the Top 500 Songs of All-Time, Segment 2 | May 23, 2015
Its not often one gets to hear an internet station in our archives (and I’m not opposed to posting one if it’s interesting, has historical significance or is just REEEEEEEEELY good!), so this sort of breaks the rules. Having actually received requests to post this show here, I guess perhaps its time for a bit…
Tony Impieri’s “Road Trip ’89”, Part 1 | February 19, 1989
Back in 2005, Contributor Tony Impieri sent in a two part scope of an East Coast road trip in which he recorded radio all the way! Talk about distracted driving! Well, back in 1989 there was no such offense on the books, and we’re thankful for that, since this is a fantastic cross-section of radio…
Jeannine Jersey on WRXS X-107 Ocean City | July 22, 1999
And just what did CHR radio sound like a scant four years after Telcom 96 set the ball in motion for consolidation of just about everything? This is a pretty good representation of the state of the format as we closed out the 90s – bland (IMHO) music, about 18 commercial units an hour and…
Norm Thibeault on WHEB 100.3 Portsmouth NH | January 1979
I’ve been looking for an aircheck from this era for years, and now we have one! Today’s 100.3 WHEB is an FM-only Classic Rocker, just your average run-of-the-mill rock oldies station, but, back in ’79, it was THE station to listen to while tanning at Hampton Beach during the Summer. Known as “The Star Station”,…
QuickCheck: J.R. Russ on VOA Europe | Sometime 1980s
Its not often we get something truly unique, but one of the short clips our new contributor, J.R. Russ sent in is of the same, heard on the Voice of America. Its very short but you can hear Russ mention different European cities, time zones, and the various stations and frequencies that listeners can tune…
“Limelight”, 960 KABL Oakland | September 6, 1960
Suppose you wanted to know what radio sounded like in 1960. You probably thought most stations were playing some sort of popular music. If you judge by this aircheck, you’d be wrong. KABL is licensed to Oakland, but serves the greater San Francisco area. Or, it was in 1960. Back then, the station aired a…
