Mark Driscoll, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | Winter, 1972
The legacy of New York’s 98.7 continues now with this late edition of WOR-FM featuring the pipes of Mark Driscoll. Listening to this, one might wonder why RKO General felt the need to change call letters. WOR-FM sounds here, much as WXLO sounded a year later, only with different jocks. Listen to the variety! While…
QuickChexx: Dave Thompson, 98.7 WXLO “99X” New York | 1975
Dave Thompson is the subject of this short clip of 99X during a time when RKO’s FM station was beginning to apply serious pressure to ratings king WABC. It would take four more years and a different station to knock off 77 Radio but one of the early major players was this station. WXLO, here,…
“The Reed Thing”, 1310 WTLB Utica | December 4, 1972
Up now is a wonderfully restored 9 minutes of little 1310 WLTB. Upstate New York, it seems, was a hotbed of radio activity. Good sounding stations, too, as you’ll hear in this recording of what might sound, to one’s untrained ears, a little bit like the George Michael show on WABC. Fooled ya! We don’t…
Michael Sarzynski on 66 WNBC New York | October 23, 1978
Thanks to this late submission from our good friend “Magic” Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks, we can bring you a really GOOD, high quality recording of the late WNBC. 1978… probably the biggest year for Disco music, before the days of disco destruction… and here’s WNBC doing it’s best to compete with crosstown WABC.…
QuickChexx: Jimmy King, 98.7 WOR-FM New York | 1969
The audio in this exhibit isn’t the greatest, but this does give the listener a unique window into the modified Bill Drake sound of RKO General’s WOR-FM. Tightly formatted and with a consistent sound throughout all dayparts, WOR-FM was the sound of Drake in New York City. Up for constant speculation over the years is…
QuickChexx: 900 WDDT Greenville, Mississippi | 1973
Perform a web search for WDDT and about the only thing you’ll find now are the tower coordinates and a mention in the travel guide for Greenville MS. Although, we have to wonder why a travel guide. Is the WDDT tower some place on a historic map? One of the coolest pieces of history associated…
QuickCheck: Z-100 New York – 1st Anniversary
This runs less than 2 minutes, but audio is audio! This was recorded on the 1st anniversary of the launch of New York’s second most important Top 40 station right behind WABC… Z-100! This one was sent in by our great friend Matt Seinberg – Thanks!
Howard Hoffman on 106 KMEL San Francisco | Early 90’s
While the date is unknown, I’m gonna chance a guess here at sometime around 1990 or so. One of our listeners will know for sure. Here’s Howard Hoffman. Known as a pretty wacky personality on the east coast (look for him here at airchexx.com from WPRO-FM, WPIX-FM & WABC), he’s a *bit* more subdued here…
