Description by Mike Hotaling:
“Here’s a check of WQBK/WQBJ The Edge, Wintertime 1994. Lots of phones, good quality. Towards the end of this one is my interview of local Albany TV legend Ralph Vartigan. It is a great trip down memory lane as Ralph talks about the early days of television. I’m so glad I somehow saved this one.”

This aircheck is from the Winter of 1996, not 1994.
Well, not to argue, but Mike recorded it the night he was on the air and says it’s ’94. You’ll have to argue with Mr. Hotaling on that one.
winter of ’96 I was on wxcr albany… this tape qbk am was still talk not sports so I believe im right on the year…
The song “Wonderwall” from Oasis wasn’t released until the Fall of ’95, so this aircheck could not have been recorded in ’94.
Yea its def Winter 1996, they said new song by spacehog,In the meantime. Good Stuff, music was great back then.
maybe dec 95 then but not 96 was at wxcr then and wqbk am had flipped to all sports wtmm by then… still mid 90s anyway…
Mike…Definitely fall/winter 1995. We did the tripping thursday promotion the first time I was PD in September 1995
well I was close anyway… and still finding damn tapes…I think the only reason I saved them was for a record of what trouble ward stone and I were causing at that time…
