Thom Whetston, 1280 WEIM Fitchburg MA | August, 1979
This aircheck actually comes to us from Thom Whetston himself, via Big Apple Airchecks. Interesting, from your webmaster’s perspective, as Thom Whetston and I were sort-of competitors (I was at WFGL-AM and WFMP-FM), and we’ve been in touch recently. They call the twin cities of Fitchburg and Leominster (along with Gardner) the Montachusett region. WEIM…
Gary Mercer, 960 CKWS Kingston, Ont. | 1971
One of the hallmarks of a true museum is collecting rare artifacts of things that no longer exist. Such is the case with some radio stations, such as this one. AM 960 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada went off the air for good on January 15, 2008. The call letters at the time were CFFX. The…
The True Don Bleu, 93 KHJ Los Angeles | 1979
Restored from mud (because thats how it sounded at first playback), here’s a micro-aircheck of The True Don Bleu, who sounds more upbeat somehow on a subdued 93 KHJ. The clock was ticking toward the upcoming (but nobody knew just yet) Country format the following year, and KHJ still managed to play the hits. I’ve…
Jackson Armstrong, 1050 CHUM Toronto | 1967
Perhaps it was the PAMS signature jingles, the incredible music, the enormous audience or just the mystique surrounding this radio station. But for a time in the 1960s and 70s, no other station in Toronto touched its listeners the way 1050 CHUM did. One of radio’s greats is featured on this worn but wonderful aircheck.…
QuickChexx: Charlie Tuna, 1020 KTNQ Los Angeles | 1979
Good morning, 9:03 with Charlie Tuna, on L.A.’s Original Rock & Roll Radio Station Here’s a very short and somewhat muddy recording that I think was made sometime in 1979. Could have been ’78. Digging around, I (re)found this interesting page on Ten-Q on //www.socalradiohistory.com/. While it doesn’t go into great detail of AM 1020’s…
Jim Van Horn, 1050 CHUM Toronto | September, 1977
Courtesy of Big Apple Airchecks, here’s a snippet of 1050 CHUM in the salad days of late 70s AM Top 40. Its right after Labor Day weekend so we can nail the date of this recording down to early September, 1977. This is Jim Van Horn, a jock with big pipes and a big city…
Don Geronimo & Mike O’Meara, 105.1 WAVA Arlington | January 17, 1986
Its just another day at “All Hit 105 WAVA”, and the All New Morning Zoo is broadcasting live from Epcot Center at Disney World. Listen as various characters interact with our duo here… they even run into other radio stations doing a live broadcast. Take note of the jock from 750 WSB Atlanta as Don…
Bobby Ocean & John Sebastian, “Position 93” KHJ Los Angeles | April 14, 1978
It’s simple, we want to be YOUR radio station – KHJ …Which they WERE, for a very long time. One has to wonder what line of thinking lead to the days of “Position 93”. Top 40? Yes. Exciting? Not really, if you’re judging the station by this aircheck. The music, especially during Bobby Ocean’s show,…
