Composite: New York City 1973, Volume 1
Thanks to Karl Phillips we have yet another look at radio in the Big Apple. This time it goes back to ’73 and it is an excellent cross-section of AM and FM stations and includes all the big ones. Included in this composite: Jonathan Schwartz on WNEW-FM (Begins with a skit called “Nixon Confesses”) WPLJ…
The end of 92 WKTU New York | 1985 Reloaded
The end of 92/KTU… Here’s a recording made shortly before the station that knocked out WABC was tossed to the dustbin of radio history. Yes, the logo says “Disco 92”. KTU wasn’t, not at the time of this aircheck, but it was a hot CHR station with a large audience. Not large enough, unfortunately… Creamed…
Beth Bacall, WTJM “Jammin’ 105” New York, Part 1 | October 21, 1999
Beth Bacall is the star attraction on R&B Oldies “Jammin’ 105”. From 60s Motown, through the Disco era of the 70s and into the Rhythmic hits of the 80s, this station played the soundtrack of three generations. The jingles in use here are classic JAM WABC cuts resung for WTJM. I can identify three packages,…
Composite: 900 CKTS Sherbrooke QC | Winter, 1974
Radio in Canada’s predominently French Province was never better! Here’s a composite of the airstaff of 900 CKTS Sherbrooke as it sounded in 1974. CKTS was the only English hit music station in the south-central part of Quebec, the region known as the Eastern Townships. While there’s no reverb at CKTS, the station takes a…
Composite: 610 KFRC San Francisco | August 14, 1968
It’s the heavy sound of KFRC as the Bay Area’s Top 40 giant plays the phsychadelic rock hits of the late 60s! These guys SOUND like hippies – yes, scads is a real word, and everything was groovy. True, this really does sound as old as it is. Its hard to believe we actually talked…
A Sample of 88.1 WCWP Brookville, NY | November, 1974
Its not often we post something from the world of Public Radio, but this isn’t your ordinary Public station. From what we can gather, it’s not even an NPR affiliate! Most college stations which are student-run have a very amateur-ish sound to them. No matter what the format, and perhaps just to be different than…
Cousin Bruce Morrow, 66 WNBC New York | September 5, 1975
Here’s a ‘world premier aircheck’ of Cousin Brucie, as recorded by contributor Keith Teicher live on 66 WNBC New York on 09/05/75. Sure, there are ‘checks of Bruce Morrow out there but most are quite worn down and muffled. This is clear, right off the original master tape. I don’t know about you, but Cousin…
“Monitor ’67”, WNBC New York | September 9, 1967
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis, here’s a rare recording of a weekend NBC “Monitor” show. This is a bit choppy, as the recording was stopped and re-started in many places throughout the original hour and a half tape. The tape is a bit worn, with dropouts (primarily on the left side) and white noise. Also,…
