Mark & Brian’s Final Show, 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles, Part 1 | August 17, 2012
Background: The end of Los Angeles’ longest current running morning show. Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps came to 95.5 KLOS from “I95” WAPI Birmingham in September of 1987 and quickly took the town by storm. By 1991, they generated enough attention to gain a short-lived series on NBC. In June, Mark Thompson announced he’d be…
Dan Taylor; 40th Anniversary Broadcast, Part 2 – 101.1 WCBS-FM New York | July 6, 2012
Dan Taylor says he got his start in radio right there at WCBS-FM, just two years out of high school in 1978. That’s a wow moment for me, having discovered Taylor on 1050 WHN in the 80s. And of course, he was a major part of the old WNBC “Time Machine” broadcasts in 1987-88. Taylor…
Bob “Vernon with a V” on 66 WNBC New York | Summer, 1976
Bob Vernon is heard on this great, mid-70s PM Drive show on the old WNBC. Notables on this aircheck: My favorite top of hour legal ID: “Fifty-Thousand Watts Clear Channel. This is the Flagship station of the National Broadcasting Company. Sixty Six, W N B C New York!” Talk about being proud as a peacock!…
Ross Brittain; Harriet Coffee, 106.1 WZGO (Z106) Philadelphia | September 24, 1986
Spanning the changeover from Morning to Midday drive times, here’s a somewhat rough sounding recording of the Ross Brittain morning show (“Brittain for Breakfast”). Our ‘annonymous’ Contributor says this was recorded between 9:45 and 10:30 AM, so what we get to hear is almost constant banter from Ross Brittain and crew, the final stop set…
Killabrew, 94-9 WZTA Miami Beach | March 25, 2004
I never know just who I’m going to run across when doing these airchecks… Killabrew, featured here on 94-9 Zeta “South Florida’s New Rock Alternative”, was also in Memphis at WMFS “93X” sometime before my tenure in the WMC-TV/AM/FM complex that housed MFS. Here’s a station that really rocks, and for those of you who…
Scotty G., 103.3 WJMX-FM Cheraw SC | June 18, 2003
A relatively recent aircheck, here’s Scotty G., broadcasting ‘on location’ at “Redbone Alley”, presumably a dance club somewhere in the Florence SC area. The station calls itself “103X” and sounds very typical of many Rhythmic-leaning CHR stations to this day. This was recorded between 5:45 and 6:30 PM and showcases the ‘5 O’Clock Traffic Jam’…
Russ Cassidy, WCMS “FM 100” Norfolk Va | February 17, 1988
…FM 100 WCMS, Your Station Of The Stars! In what might just turn out to be the only remaining aircheck of the old WCMS (AM 1050, FM 100.5), here’s a recording I made while living in Portsmouth, Va. I was stationed in Norfolk during the years 1985-1988, much of that time in the Naval shipyards…

After a year spent attempting an FM News format, Rock is back in New York City on 101.9. When it ended back in 2011, we posted this to commemorate the end of what was then known as WRXP – “The Rock Experience” The history of 101.9 dates back a long time, to 1948 to be…
