1979 Northeast Jingle Montage
This is very short but included on a tape contributed by Big Apple Airchecks is this 3 1/2 minute clip of just jingles. This isn’t the best quality, but all were recorded off the air and taken from assorted airchecks. The only two I recognize as not being from the New England area are WGAR…
Willie Mitchell; John McKay – 105.9 WIGY Bath/Brunswick Me | July 1979
How many people knew there was something up in central Maine other than Elk, Moose and Deer? All kidding aside, this is the first aircheck we have of the Brunswick market, and it’s true classic Top 40 all the way! Big Apple Airchecks submitted this long scope of Willie Mitchell and John McKay that appears…
JoJo Kincaid, 105.7 WVBF “F-105” Framingham/Boston | March 15, 1979
“…Thank you for making us Boston’s Number One Music Station!” The “New” F-105 wasn’t new, but the branding was for one of Boston’s first FM Top 40 stations. WVBF (which stood for the owner’s wife’s name, Virginia Brown Fairbanks) had been rocking since the early ’70s, but when the Disco craze took hold in late…
The “Bobby Blue Demo” Tape – Bob Marini
Contributor Bob Marini sure has a lot to contribute to the radio industry – he’s even got his own website! Bob sent in a few airchecks but I think it’s appropriate to start with this demo tape. This SOUNDS like a great aircheck of the legendary 68 WRKO Boston… but as with many things in…

JoJo Kincaid in Boston – WEGQ Lawrence/Boston “Eagle 93-7” | January 9, 1998
One might argue that “The Eagle” was a station ahead of it’s time. Of course, it really wasn’t, but perhaps Bostonians weren’t quite ready for this genuine dose of 70s & 80s, graciously delivered by one of Boston’s legendary FM jocks, JoJo Kincaid. JoJo made a huge name for himself two decades earlier, at the…
Composite: 900 CKTS Sherbrooke QC | Winter, 1974
Radio in Canada’s predominently French Province was never better! Here’s a composite of the airstaff of 900 CKTS Sherbrooke as it sounded in 1974. CKTS was the only English hit music station in the south-central part of Quebec, the region known as the Eastern Townships. While there’s no reverb at CKTS, the station takes a…
Jackson Armstrong on 1510 WMEX Boston | February, 1968
Jackson Armstrong seems to be one of airchexx.com’s favorites – his name shows up in our search page almost as frequently as Dan Ingram – and little wonder why! One of the fastest talkers ever, Armstrong has a long history of gracing radio stations with his mouth, one of them being WMEX Boston. Here’s a…
