Tom Birch, 1460 WAXC Rochester | February 14, 1974
1974 was a VERY long time ago – in radio years it’s an eternity! Listening to Tom Birch and his SCREAMING upbeat show, one would think this is a major market station in competition with the biggest and best. But, that’s what WAXC sounded like in it’s prime! We dug deep into the vault to…

WAXC Demo Tape | 1972
