Jim Davis, 93/KHJ Los Angeles | 1976
Forget about Boss Radio. KHJ had a LOT going for it in the mid-70s, if nothing else, the programming and voice brilliance of Charlie Van Dyke at the helm of an L.A. legend. It’s difficult to outline the politics of radio in Los Angeles in this era. The staple KHJ jocks that listeners were used…

QuickChexx: Larry Richards, 96.1 WHTX Pittsburgh
Does anyone suppose that there’s such a thing as a dead frequency? How about a ‘failed’ frequency? Okay, lets completely rephrase this. Just how many times, do you suppose, does one radio station need to change format and call letters until the respective owners find one that manages to grab and keep and audience and…
1010 WINS New York Reports on the Passing of Stan Brooks | December 24, 2013
“You Give Us 22 Minutes, We’ll Give You The World” That slogan, and the All-News format as we know it today owes its beginnings to the late Stan Brooks. Stan was the News Director in 1965 when WINS parent company, Westinghouse Broadcasting, approached him about building a 24 hour news format. At that time, WINS…
Mike Phillips, 1150 KAYO Seattle | March 30, 1962
When we received this group of tapes from Contributor Robyn Watts, we never dreamed of the gems we’d find inside. AM 1150 Seattle was known as “Country KO” for a time… much of the 1960s into the 70s. However, this nearly 5 minute scope of Mike Phillips (KFRC) showcases the EARLY Top 40 format that…
Dick Summer, WBZ 1030 Boston | August, 1964
Often times, we obtain an aircheck and then the person featured sends in a better copy. Such was the case with this. The original copy was sent in way back in the first year of this website’s existence. Then Dick Summer himself sent this much better quality recording in a few years later. So, here…
Jessica Savitch/Rob France, WBBF Rochester | June, 1967
Here’s a slice of 1960s upstate New York gold, reverb and all! This is the old 950 WBBF (now WROC). This was obviously recorded on a wideband AM receiver – those were the norm back in the 1960s at a full 16khz wide, and there was a thunderstorm or two somewhere in the area judging…
Denny St. John, 1050 KOFY San Francisco | June, 1986
Here’s an interesting aircheck of a radio station which did much to promote itself, not only as an Oldies station playing music from the 1950s, but as a daytime only AM station that was on the verge of getting its nighttime authority and going 24 hours. Denny St. John is your host for this 21…
