Rocky Robbing on WJBQ Scarborough (Portland) Maine | January 1979
Here’s an FM station that sounded lots like an AM station in the respect that the format could have been heard on AM and nobody would have known the difference. Now, I woulda thought this aircheck would just fly right along, but it’s what I would term rather bland. There’s not one jingle. Not much…
Chuck Knapp, 680 WRKO Boston | April, 1967
Tape recordings are an amazing thing. Someone hit the ‘record’ button at random, and at times, such as this, we get to hear something quite amazing. That this tape survived all these years is amazing in and of itself! Recorded just about a month after the launch of Top 40 WRKO from the ashes of…
Composite: 68 WRKO Boston | September 1975
Was 1975 really that long ago? I mean, really. We were just kids. Summers were hot, our parents not too old and we went everywhere on vacation. I always had a radio wherever we went. And I swear, everywhere east of my hometown picked up WRKO. this sounds so NORMAL to me. I must’ve been…
Composite: 68 WRKO Boston | 1974
Contributor Steve Bleecker assures us that “No one else has this”! One listen to this nine minute scope of the Big 68 and you’ll be instantly teleported into radio heaven. That is, if you were a fan of mid-1970s RKO General stations. This is almost a *perfect* recording which has held up well for nearly…
Bill Lee, 98 WJBQ Portland, ME | February 24, 1983
So you think the smaller markets sounded quaint? Even in 1983, some of the hottest jocks in radio could be heard in tiny markets… Portland Maine is no exception. WJBQ was a flame-throwin’ Top 40 outlet for many years, and the talent that walked through those hallowed portals, well, you can imagine, given the talent…
Composite (Part 3) 610 KFRC San Francisco | May 18, 1982
Part 3 of this incredibly great sounding composite features more Harry Nelson and Mark McKay. Some of the very best audio quality can be heard on this aircheck, with only a hint of static toward the end of this tape. For only 5,000 watts on AM, this had to be one of the greatest AM…
Composite (Part 2): 610 KFRC San Francisco | May 18, 1982
A long time ago, we posted a large composite of KFRC from May 1982 including a nice segment with Broadway Bill Lee (he didn’t use ‘Broadway’ in San Fran of course). Here’s part 2 of that composite, which features morning funny man Dr. Don Rose (and some very interesting news segments partly included), and Harry…
Boston Sampler #1: WRKO / WVBF
Courtesy of Contributor Frank Davis, here’s a wonderful composite featuring two of Boston’s legendary Top 40 stations. It starts with Harry Nelson on WRKO, then moves on into the wierdest thing your webmaster’s heard come out of a radio (and I’ve heard a lot of strange things over the years). WVBF apparently has just tweaked…
