Curator’s Notes:
This is a FUN aircheck! No reverb, the tape was a bit muddy especially the first few minutes, but you’ll laugh through much of this six minutes of RKO General heaven! Be sure to listen carefully, because this literally FLIES by!
I’m a bit confused as to the exact date. This sounds very much like 1976 by the music, but it could be early 1977, based upon the air staff. Someone out there knows.

One thought on “Composite, 98.7 WXLO New York | 1976”
The first jock in the composite is Lee Douglas. WXLO began using the More-music positioner in the late summer of ’76, along with the elimination of the Shotgun jingle. Portions of the composite were from earlier that year.
