Bill Lenke, WTIC-FM Hartford | December, 1978
Bill (Lenke) Lee holds down one of the most envious jobs in all of radio – as the afternoon jock on New York’s 101.1 WCBS-FM, and around the world on CBS’ “Radio” app for mobile phones (yeah, its a modern technology thing…). Lee has always been one of our favorites! Bill uses his REAL name…
Career Spotlight: Pat St. John
Sent in back in 2003 by our first, biggest contributor, Matt Seinberg at bigappleairchecks.com, here’s a great air personality whom Matt was proud to strike up a friendship with. Pat St. John had a great career which spanned several decades and different formats. Longtime New York listeners who remember Pat at WPLJ and WAPP would…
QuickChexx: The Rocketman, KFMB-FM San Diego | June, 1975
We’re thinking of Bobby Rich and his internet station ‘Bobby’s B-100‘ as this new Robyn Watts QuickChexx goes up. Sure, this is but three minutes long, but that’s long enough to get a feel for the energy level B-100 had even in 1976! No jingles, just a jock and a stack of records (or was…
Frank Holler, 1410 WPOP Hartford | May 18, 1969
AM was still king in Hartford and all around the USA when this recording of WPOP was made. Now, unless you’re intimately familiar with the Bill Drake “Boss Radio” Top 40 format, you probably think this is his handiwork. Someone out there knows for sure, but it sure sounds like WPOP ran a Drake knock-off…
Legal ID’s volume 1: 1990s
First off, lets give credit where credit is due. This collection of legal IDs comes to us courtesy of Scott Fybush. I got this collection of tapes (there were 3 in a series) back in the late 90s. This is part one of what I *think* is the entire collection (maybe a few extras) which…
Alan Beebe on KMJC El Cajon “Magic 91” | Spring 1977
This aircheck comes to us from Alan Beebe via Matt at Big Apple Airchecks. As the story goes, Beebe gave it to Matt a couple of years ago, and Matt is resending it back to Beebe (and us) since he lost everything in his aircheck collection in Hurricane Katrina. Someone else to remember in your…
Jim O’Brien, Dan Donovan, 56 WFIL Philadelphia | January 24, 1977
Still technically a Top 40 station, WFIL has a one man morning show and plays everything – Some golden oldies thrown in which go back to the 60s, and lots of current hits, disco included. This is a wonderful glimpse of how WFIL sounded just before throwing in the towel and moving to an Adult…
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…
