Here’s one Contributor Mike Hotaling sent in of his Halloween show on Classic Rocker WXCR Albany. This is a fun aircheck. There’s apparently a whole group of staffers in the studio with Mike this particular evening and they are having a good time as Mike serves up a generous dose of hard rock classics, from Rush to Zeppelin and plenty of 70s & 80s classics.



Webmaster’s Note: The logo shown here is incorrect. This version of WXCR is from New Martinsville, West Virginia. In fact, WXCR was first used on a station in Florida at 92.5, then arrived in Albany (Ballston Spa, officially) where they stayed till May of 2000, when Clear Channel took over ownership and imported their “Kiss” branded CHR format. The calls became WKKF – they and the format remain to this day. The WXCR call letters were launched in West Virginia on 92.3 in May, 2003.
