Broadway Bill Lee, 103.5 WKTU New York | May 30, 1997
New Contributor Cecelia Taylor-Hunt sent in over 90 minutes of Bill Lee on “The Beat of New York”. Before you say, ‘this isn’t top 40’, you really must listen. 103-5 KTU is doing some killer promotions around this time, and remember, this was 1997, and all the consolidation which ruined even the big stations hadn’t…
A Legend Lives: A Sample of 650 WSM Nashville | September 16, 2014
WSM. Those three call letters bring up images, burned into the memory of past generations. An entire genre of American popular music essentially began right here at this radio station, in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1925 with a weekly show called, “The WSM Barn Dance”. The first announcer/MC for the program was Judge Hay, who changed…
QuickChexx: Bobby Skafish, WLUP Chicago
Sent in a long time ago by Robyn Watts, here’s a short recording of Bobby Skafish on Chicago’s Loop FM 98, as they called it back then. When was then? While not marked on the tape, we’ll take an uneducated guess of the early 1980s, perhaps 1981. Someone knows, there are clues. There’s no mention…
Bill Lee, 99 1/2 WLOL Minneapolis | 1985
Fresh from KFRC, Bill Lee (Lenke at WTIC-FM) is showcased here, with a lightning fast delivery just like the weather hammering the Twin Cities this particular evening. Tornado watches and warnings abound and Lee is as entertaining delivering the weather as he is the hits. This is an incredible airchceck, and its been re-mastered for…
Chuck Ingersoll, 96.5 WCMF, Rochester NY | January 24, 1980
Description written by Contributor Chuck Ingersoll: The golden days of “underground album radio” were pretty much done by this time, and soon new ownership/management would clean almost all of us out of the WCMF album rock house. Features Jim Hooley, now a TV news reporter in Denver. Chuck hosted the morning show on ‘CMF from…
Chuck Ingersoll, 96.5 WCMF, Rochester, NY | August 22, 1977
New Contributor Chuck Ingersoll describes this first aircheck of 96.5 WCMF Rochester: It was getting near the end for underground album radio, but in 1977, the jocks at WCMF, Rochester still got to select and program their own music and shows. It was loose, it was informal, it was fun, and it made a good…
QuickChexx: Bill Lee, 103.5 WAPP “Hot 103” Lake Success NY | July 29, 1985
New Contributor Marty Glenn Siegel has been waiting a few years for this to post. Its an excellent one, too! Broadway Bill Lee (WTIC-FM, KFRC, WLOL, WCBS-FM) mentions he’ll be going back to Minneapolis after his show, so one has to wonder if this was an audition or just a visit. It’s mighty good to…
Dean Richards, 102.9 WDRC-FM Hartford | December, 1986
WDRC-FM has been playing Oldies in one form or another, continuously since 1984. In the beginning, it was VERY tight and all 1950s, 60s and early 1970s music. In the first part of the 1980s, DRC-FM was a part time simulcast of 1360 WDRC’s Adult Top 40 format. Interestingly enough, the station even turned the…
